INSIDE THE MIND OF A NATIONAL & LOCAL STATION PSA DIRECTOR  

WHAT:  Wish you knew what would help get your PSA on the air? Are there inside secrets?  In this informal Q&A session you’ll have a chance to speak with two seasoned PSA decision-makers – one from a national network and another from a local station affiliate.  We’ll cover these & other topics:

• When reviewing PSAs, what is it you look for?
• What causes you to accept (or reject) a PSA – are there dos and don’ts?
• What preferences do you have for PSA lengths? What about production style?
• Can nonprofits ask for donations in the PSA?
• Will the 2024 National Elections impact your usage of PSAs?
