[RAGG-Core] URGENT - PSA STATUS

[Anne Odom]

Shawn & Danielle:

Nikki from Q96 just called and said the PSA has to be EITHER 30 OR 60
seconds.  They cannot play a 40 second PSA, as it won't fit within
advertising time slots allowed for syndicated programs.  This means that we
need to lengthen our PSA to 60 seconds (we can't possibly shorten it to 30).

Here is our current PSA text (40 seconds):

----
SOUND FX: Airhorn or other loud noise! or three random noises in a row,
including animal sounds.

VOICE: Got your attention?  This message is for all the girlz & womyn out
there.   There’s a new group in town – it’s called R.A.G.G., the resource
and action group for girlz and womyn.  We’re launching ourselves in style on
Saturday, May 29th., at the Urbana Champaign Independent Media Center , 218
W. Main in downtown Urbana.  You’re invited to join us all day for workshops
like hair-braiding, political action, music, sports, and more... In the
evening, you can enjoy music, refreshments, and the new friends that you
made
during the day at our mocktail hour at OJC Technologies.  Wanna know more?
You can visit our website at r-a-g-g.ucimc.org.
---

Anyone who has thoughts on what information to include to extend it to sixty
seconds, e-mail it back to the list.

Shawn -- give me a call this evening (344-1454), and we'll finalize the
sixty second text.

Danielle -- if Shawn's available, can you record this tomorrow over the
phone?

Thanks,

Anne

Shawn & Danielle:

What's the status of the PSA?  Most radio stations will want to review it
before playing it, so we need to get copies to them ASAP.  Let the rest of
us know if you need help delivering the PSA once it is recorded...

Thanks,
Anne
