How To Send A PSA

What is a PSA? Generally a PSA (Public Service Announcement) is a brief announcement of an event or service that will impact / benefit the community. PSA's are available to non-profit, non-political organizations.

What should be included in a PSA?
Event name
Event date
Event time
Event location
Purpose of event (is this a fund raiser for your organization? Is it a seminar to raise awareness, an educational event, etc.
Contact information: A contact phone number for further information that can be posted on our web site and given out over the air
Mission statement: Be sure to include a brief description of your group or organization as well. We need to know what your organization is about -this will help us when we are telling people why they should attend your event.

Remember to:
Include your name & daytime phone number in case we have questions or need to verify information regarding your event

When will I hear my PSA?
We place all PSA's in equal rotation on our Community Calendar events listing on a first come first served basis (as long as you have followed our suggested guidelines). The Community Calendar is aired 2x per hour from 6A.M. – Midnight Monday thru Sunday. We reserve the right to edit your PSA, and we may omit any mention of a “for-profit businesses”.

If you wish to have your PSA read at a specific time, day or number of times, we recommend that you consider purchasing advertising time - call 757-562-3135 for details.
