Fox Community Calendar

A PSA, also known as a public service announcement, is a free announcement which promotes programs, activities, or services of non-profit organizations or federal, state, and local government serving community interests.

PSAs came into being with the entry of the United States into World War II. Radio broadcasters and advertising agencies offered their skills and facilities toward the war effort and established the War Advertising Council which became the official homefront arm of the Office of War Information. Print, outdoor advertising and especially radio became the carriers of such messages as "Loose lips sink ships," "Keep 'em Rolling" and a variety of announcements encouraging the purchase of War Bonds.

PSA's must be written in ten lines or less and sent at least two weeks prior to the event..  No attachments please.  Email koko@fox102.com to submit your PSA.
