Public Service Announcements for Radio

These audio recordings used for radio public service announcements were created in the 1980's. They were removed from the World Services product catalog in 1997.  The former Board of Directors for the World Service Office decided to remove these audio tapes because of the long term lack of sales. 

A probable cause for the drop in Fellowship interest in this product is that radio stations (at least in the United States) were more frequently requesting scripts to read on the air rather than play a recording.  

Six recordings were produced and are listed below.  If you have the proper software, you can listen to these files (MP3).  If your computer does not have a compatible media player, there are many resources on the World Wide Web to obtain the proper software for your computer to play them.  

We also include the script for each PSA.  The printed text is used when submitting PSAs to radio stations to document the content of the PSA.  It can also be used in the situation where a radio station wanted to read the script rather than play the recording.

If you wish to work on radio PSA project, see our Radio PSA Project Tips Page for helpful information.

May 2004:

Although the PSAs for radio was removed from the NAWS catalog, we are told that if requested, you may purchase these recordings for PI subcommittee use. 

 

January 2007:

Another reason for the removal of this product was the fact that radio stations were not "donating" airtime to non-profit organizations as in decades past (within the United States). 

Radio broadcast stations could now instead sell the airtime to their advertising customers and then "donate" that airtime to the customer's favorite charity/non-profit (or a blanket account for the discretion of the radio station).

Plainly, its became increasingly difficult to get radio airtime and now radio PSAs for NA are rare.
