How to Get a Radio Spot on Your Local Station Identify Local Stations: Start by listing the radio stations in your area, especially those with community-focused programming or public service announcement (PSA) slots. Reach Out to the Station: Contact the station’s public affairs or community relations department. Most stations have a contact listed on their website for submitting announcements or arranging interviews. Pitch Your Story or Event: Explain who you are, what your agency does and why your message matters to the community—especially during something timely like Older Americans Month. Offer to provide a pre-recorded PSA, script or even a spokesperson for a live interview. Submit a PSA (if applicable): Many stations offer free airtime for PSAs, especially for nonprofits. These should be short (typically 15–60 seconds) and clearly state your message and call to action. Follow Up: If you don’t hear back, a polite follow-up call or email can help keep the conversation going and show your enthusiasm for sharing important information with their listeners.
