APA Format: Television or Radio Programs

       


 

To cite a nonprint source such as a television or radio program, a typical bibliography entry will appear as follows:

Keillor, Garrison (Producer), & Smith, Lynn (Director). (2

      Oct.1993). A prairie home companion [Radio Program]. St.

       Louis, MO: KMOX.


The name(s) of the producer, director, or other significant contributors are listed at the head of the entry, last names first. Each name is followed by a description in parentheses of that individual's function (in this example, Keillor and Lynn, respectively, are the producer and the director), and a period should appear after the final parentheses. After listing the date in parentheses followed by a period, italicize the program title, and specify in brackets whether it is a radio or television program. List the location and the local station where you saw or heard the program.
