Dear Fellow Federationists:

The National Federation of the Blind is proud to present brand new radio 
public service announcements for airplay on local radio stations throughout 
the United States. Most of the spots are only thirty seconds long, which is 
usually the preferred length, but we also have a 60-second announcement 
featuring President Riccobono. In addition, two of the spots are in Spanish. 
The spots include general announcements about the NFB, as well as messages 
specifically targeted to parents of blind children, blind parents, and 
people who are experiencing vision loss but who may not yet identify as 
blind.

All the announcements are available for you to hear and download at 
https://nfb.org/psas. We have hired a contractor to distribute the 
announcements to radio stations across the nation. However, a personal 
message from an affiliate or local chapter will substantially increase the 
likelihood that the announcements will receive airplay. Please plan to reach 
out to your local stations to let them know that the National Federation of 
the Blind wants to reach blind people and people who are losing vision in 
every community.

Many stations will have a public service director. If a station doesn't have 
such a director, it is usually best to direct a request to play PSAs to the 
program director. Usually you can find the correct contact information for 
any given radio station by visiting its website. If you contact a single 
station's office, be sure to ask if it has "sister stations" in your area, 
since there are companies that own several stations in many markets. 
Sometimes it will be obvious that you've connected with the public service 
or program director for an entire cluster of radio stations in your 
community.

We do not recommend that you send the MP3 files as attachments to stations 
unless you have spoken with them first and they specifically ask you to do 
so. Instead, please direct them to the link above, or to 
https://digitalmedia.vnr1.com/2018/08/07/nfb_help_radiopsas/, where they can 
easily download the spots themselves.

We are excited about these new announcements and eager to see what kind of 
response they receive in your communities. Please let us know whether they 
are being played in your area, including details about the stations airing 
them, by emailing me at cdanielsen at nfb.org.

Thank you for continuing to build the Federation by helping spread the word 
about our life-changing organization and its work.

Warmly,

Chris Danielsen
