Public Affairs Information

PSA Requirements
WZXV provides free publicity for non-profit organizations holding events or providing information of value our listeners' communities. Public Service Announcements (PSAs) are provided for concerts, church activities and community events, along with benefits and fundraisers. For profit organizations do not qualify for coverage under our Public Affairs policy. Events we promote occur within our listening area.

Exceptions
We make an exception for events that involve a fee if the fee is used to cover the cost of materials, workbooks, handouts, or to provide meals or accommodations. Conferences, seminars, or concerts that charge a fee for any other purpose do not qualify for a PSA.

Airing of PSAs
WZXV reserves the right to refuse any PSA for any reason. We’re sorry, but we can’t make commitments about timing and frequency of airing your PSA, as our program schedule is subject to change without notice. These are done as time permits for programmed segments or on-air announcements. Not all announcements that appear on our website will be heard on the air because of time constraints. Information for PSAs must reach WZXV at least two (2) weeks prior to the event.
