PSAs are unpaid broadcast announcements that benefit a registered 501(c)(3) organization by raising awareness about their event or services. KFAI is committed to contributing to the social wellness of the Twin Cities by sharing space with those working for the public good. Staff members review all PSA submissions, and KFAI reserves the right to edit or decline an offer. Submitting a request does not guarantee the announcement will be broadcast.
