TYPS PSA TYPS Public Service Announcements

Broadcasting the PSAs in your region 

TYPS has put together 5 PSAs to date, and started circulating them.  Rogers has aired 4 of them on 8 channels 684 times between June and October; they are picking up the anti-tobacco video now.  CJOH has aired one in Eastern Ontario. It's great promotion for the value of your youth centre.

Do contact your local cable company to get the PSAs aired right away.  These PSAs will help raise the profile of youth centres in the public eye.  They will not get aired in your region unless you contact your local cable company.  Let them know that TYPS is a charitable organization, which opens the door for their broadcast.   You may strategize; bringing in 2 to start with, then  2 more different ones in a few months time - this may stretch out the airing.

  • Contact your local broadcaster.
  • Send them the links to the previews of the PSAs online, download them to put them on a CD and bring them in with you when you meet their promotions person.
  • Let them know that TYPS as a Telecaster number for each one – the number is a pre-requisite, and TYPS will sent it in to them.
  • Ask them what format TYPS needs to submit the PSA in – likely they will want a Betacam copy to meet Broadcast standards.
Send us the contact information, especially a name and a phone number.
