PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT TEMPLATE

The following contains two PSA examples: one 10-second piece and one 30-second piece. After
you personalize it for your installation, read it aloud with a stop watch to ensure it conforms
strictly to the time limit.

Call your local radio station to ask about the process for having a PSA aired. The examples
provided here are for an “Invasive Species Awareness Day,” but you can use PSAs to announce
any number of different events or simply to advise people against certain behaviors that
contribute to the spread of invasives.
