Public Service
Announcements (PSAs) |
According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) a PSA is an
announcement run by the media free of charge that promotes government or
non-profit programs, activities or services, or other community-service
announcements that are in the public interest, such as matters of health
and safety.
As a community service, broadcast
stations will often run Public Service Announcements (PSAs) free of
charge. Submit PSAs to any broadcast station that serves your targeted
audience. Due to the controversial nature of abortion politicis,
family-friendly stations may be most receptive to these ads.
Ask your station's ad department to
send you information for programs that target 24-49 year-old women, or
ask for other recommendations to reach health-oriented, family-oriented,
conservative, or youth audiences. Most stations will recommend program,
times and formats best suited to the audience you want to reach, e.g.
talk shows, easy-listening music, contemporary rock, news, etc.
