PSAs (Public Service Announcements)
About PSAs
PSAs are short, non-commercial announcements that are read on the air.
- They are an excellent way for non-profits to get the word out about their needs, upcoming fundraisers, calls for volunteers, special events, etc.
- They are a service of KGNU to the community
- They are not scheduled: while programmers are required to read a number of PSAs during a show, it is up to the programmer to pick a PSA to read
- They may be dated (for a particular event) or ongoing
Hearing, Reading PSAs
PSAs are read on the air at more or less random times throughout the day.
At this point our PSA system is paper-based, so PSAs are not available on-line.
Getting more info on a PSAs
If you you need more information on a PSA that you heard on the air, please call us.
The person at the Front Desk should be able to help you, though he/she may have to call you back later with that info.
It's best if you call immediately after you heard that PSA on the air.
Submitting PSAs
Follow these guidelines carefully to make it more likely that a KGNU programmer will read your PSA on the air.
Writing the PSA:
- Include all the pertinent information: Who, What, When, Where, Why
- Use complete sentences (not a list of details). Shorter, less complex sentences are better
- Make no editorial comments: don't make it sound like KGNU is taking a position
- If appropriate, add phonetic pronunciation, particularly with names
- Include concise contact information that can be both read and remembered easily (not multiple names and numbers, complex URLs)
- Include a kill date: the first day when the PSA should no longer be read (leave blank for ongoing PSAs)
- No prices (unless it is a benefit for KGNU)
- The total length should be such that it can be read in 60 seconds or less
- You may adds extra details (not to be read on the air) that we may tell listeners who call for more information, such as prices
Submitting the PSA:
- Submit a minimum 2 weeks in advance
- Submit either a printed PSA or fill this form. Sorry, we do not accept faxed PSAs
...printed:
- Use a 4" x 6" index card
- Print your text (instead of hand-writing); use a large and easily readable font
- Cut the print-out and tape it to the card
- Mail us your PSA (or drop it of at the station)
