“I have noticed a real increase of PSAs on talk radio”
They can’t sell advertising. I don?t understand why they don’t lower their rates.

Don’t know where you live, but in the DC metro area WMAL is carrying these so called PSAs during prime times and they don’t seem to have any problems selling ad spots.
It may well be that the PSA label allows for reduced rates. I’d love to find the total amount of $$ being spent by the Feds and states on this propaganda.
One of the more bizarre and obnoxious ones addresses the need for native american folk to insure their kids exercise more. A talking bicycle. If there is any NA population at all in the broadcast area it is minuscule, yet these run throughout the day and night.
Years ago a show biz person told me that the voice over work allowed actors to get the minimum hours in maintain their AFTRA union cards.
It’s the propaganda arm of the DemPartei.
First it is a reminder, then a kindly sugeestion, then..................we are the frogs in a pot on a low flame
“...in the DC metro area WMAL is carrying these so called PSAs during prime time”
I used to wake up to Hardin & Weaver on WMAL. Rode home from school on D.C. Transit. The overhead ads plugged LBJ’s youth fitness program, “If you can do more pushups than your ten year old son, he’s in trouble.”
The PSAs have spiked under Zero, so something nefarious is going on. Your explanation makes sense.
Every time I hear one, I want to put my fist through the radio.
It’s the silver-tongued, velvet hammer of soft oppression. And it works on comatose Americans.
