What is a Community Service Announcement?

A Community Service Announcement is a regularly scheduled or irregular announcement, depending on the information and content, broadcast free of charge by AIR-FM for groups and organisations promoting community awareness, safety or information of general community benefit. This announcement can be read live for special events or broadcast similar to an advertisement on a regular basis inline with an organisations promotional campaign.

Can my group have an AIR-FM Community Service Announcement?

AIR-FM strive to support as many community organisations as possible through community service announcements, however are required to examine carefully the submissions received to make sure that the requests are not in breach of statute legislations and are in supporting the concept of community awareness and promotion.

The following list is a sample of the criteria required by AIR-FM for a community organisation wishing to submit information for announcement.

Any Community Organisation, operated as a non profit venture, for the sole benefit of raising the awareness of the community to a particular cause or interest, may submit information for Community Service Announcements provided no member of the organisation requesting the announcement gains personally from the announcement.
