What is an Embargo?

Embargoes content refers to the material that cannot be shared publicly until a specific date. This allows us to coordinate promotion, create anticipation, and make sure your episode launches at the perfect moment for maximum impact.

Please hold on to all video, images, and promotional materials until your embargo lifts. Sharing content early can result in your segment being pulled from distribution.
