Off-Air Programs This falls under the "Fair use Guidelines for Off-Air Videotaping". The same rules apply whether the Media Services Department would do the recording or you would do the recording at home. "A broadcast program may be recorded off-air simultaneously with broadcast transmission and retained by a non-profit educational institution for a period not to exceed the first forty-five consecutive calendar days after date of recording. Upon conclusion of such retention period, all off-air recordings must be erased or destroyed immediately. "Broadcast programs" are television programs transmitted by television stations for reception by the general public without charge. Off-air recordings may be used once by individual teachers in the course of relevant teaching activities, and repeated once only when instructional reinforcement is necessary, in classrooms and similar places devoted to instruction ...during the first ten consecutive school days. Off-air recordings may be made only at the request of and used by individual teachers, and may not be regularly recorded in anticipation of requests. No broadcast program may be recorded off-air more than once at the request of the same teacher, regardless of the number of times the program may be broadcast A limited number of copies may be reproduced from each off-air recording to meet the legitimate needs of teachers under these guidelines.
