Below is a breakdown of NBCU networks and the categories we review, as well as advertising guidelines for each network where applicable. These guidelines were created to help advertisers and their representatives—including agencies and legal counsel—create advertisements. They are meant to provide general guidance and should not be considered exhaustive or a substitute for consulting with NBCU Advertising Standards.
You can submit to several NBCU networks using this website. For some networks, only certain categories need to be reviewed by Standards. If an advertiser falls outside of these categories, they should not be submitted to this website.
