ABC7 KGO-TV Video Duplication and Footage Licensing

Advertisement

KGO-TV/DT video spans from 1964 to the present and comes from our award winning ABC7 News, 7Live and public affairs programs.

We make certain footage available to be licensed in television programming, documentaries, feature films, educational projects, corporate films, web based projects and more.

We also make some of our news stories available to embed on your website by clicking "SHARE" on the lower right corner of the video player on the KGO-TV/DT web home page.



Video Duplication

Private use DVD's of KGO-TV/DT news stories within the last three months and 7Live segments dating back to 2007 are available for purchase at $50 per copy (add $15 if requesting Fedex express shipping).

Older archived footage is generally available for commercial licensing only.

Footage Licensing

Licensing is required for commercial, internet, or any shared use of KGO-TV/DT footage. Our footage may not be used in connection with the exploitation, advertising, publicity or promotion of the program licensee. The license is intended for sharing our story "as is", without any implied endorsement by KGO-TV/DT.
