PBS SoCal Guidelines for Public Service Announcements

PBS SoCaL provides a great public service to Orange County communities and Southern California through local community shows like Real Orange. There are limited openings available between programs for public service announcements (PSAs).

PBS SoCaL and its channels will broadcast at its own discretion and without charge, PSAs which align with PBS SoCaL’s mission.

If your organization would like to submit a PSA for consideration, the following rules apply:

• Your organization must be a non-profit organization, must be registered with the IRS and must have a Federal Tax ID number.
• PBS SoCaL does not accept PSAs from individual K-12 schools or related K-12 school organizations, religious or political organizations.
• PBS SoCaL prefers announcements to be 10 or 15 seconds in length.
• Media required is DVC Pro 25 MDS or DVC Pro 50 MDS.
• The production must be broadcast quality and professionally produced.

Press releases, timely event announcements, K-12 educational, religious group announcements, or anything of a community calendar nature should be directed to the Real Orange newsroom: E-mail realo@koce.org

Qualifying PSA tapes should be sent to:
