Submit Your Non-Profit Public Service Announcement to WATD

95.9 WATD Public Service Instructions

Why does WATD offer this service?: As part of WATD’s commitment to the community South of Boston, we offer :30 second recordings (also known as PSAs or Public Service Announcements) for upcoming events.

When should I promote my event?: We ask that you contact us no later than 10 days before the event.

Do I need to do anything to prepare: YES – Please write a :30 second script, no more than 75 words. And please keep in mind that with phone numbers, each number is a separate word. See script sample below. Also practice reading your script out loud several times before coming.

Where do I go?: WATD is located at 130 Enterprise Drive in Marshfield MA. We’re about 1.5 miles off Route 3 on the street across from 7-11 Food Mart on Route 139. That’s Enterprise Drive. Close to the bottom of the street you’ll see the radio tower. That’s WATD. Please use the door on the street side. The door on the parking lot side is for a separate business.

How long will it take to record?: Plan for around 10-15 minutes of time.
When can I record?: WATD studios are open for PSA recordings Mon-Fri 3 p.m.- 5 p.m. Or you can contact us to get instructions on how to record remotely.

When will my PSA air?: WATD airs Public Service Messages several times an hour. Most times your PSA will play 10 times during the week leading up to your event between 5 a.m. – 6 p.m. There are no specific times.

Contact John Shea/PSA Director to see if you qualify, call 781-837-1166 x338 or email [email protected]
