The money is likely being spent in creating the PSA "announcement".<br /><br />PSAs are not just for " public health and safety" but also to educate and inform and even to change behavior ( don't smoke, don't use drugs, get more exercise, exercise your right to vote) with " inform" being the operative word here. And, broadcasters now enjoy pretty much carte blanche in the applications they approve with an " eye toward the reputation of the group making the application". The bill to de-regulate PSAs was supposed to reduce the paperwork involved but went, as usual, too far thanks to lobbyists who seized an opportunity.<br /><br />This bill is attempting to deal with a problem created by deregulation and current language is not specific enough to do that and will, instead, make it more difficult for all agencies to spend money on creating PSAs as the question will be " is it a PSA or an ad"? <br /><br />They could ban elected or appointed people from appearing or using their voices or identifying themselves in all these promotions, but then THEIR guy couldn't either use that venue either so they want control over who can or can't while they hold power. <br /><br />PS, the station can make the money if they or their employees can find ways to participate in production .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-59217559931236799532012-03-07T21:01:24.165-06:002012-03-07T21:01:24.165-06:00How much money does the state spend on advertising...How much money does the state spend on advertising each year?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-86042260408435773702012-03-07T17:55:37.398-06:002012-03-07T17:55:37.398-06:00Excuse me KF, but the wording didn't make a di...Excuse me KF, but the wording didn't make a distinction between talk radio and all other radio did it?<br />Or did I miss something?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-82825863985835353872012-03-07T13:22:57.431-06:002012-03-07T13:22:57.431-06:00Public service announcements are a requirement of ...Public service announcements are a requirement of licensing for radio and television stations.

Other funds are fine to use. This means that College Savings ads, the Universities' ads, University Physicians' ads, etc., will still run since they're likely paid for by non-State-appropriated funds.

Either it applies to all 3 mediums equally or it should not be done. If this did come from T Reeves or his people, it’s going to backfire on them because it makes you look like a pouting child taking his ball and going home. <br /><br />I agree budgets needs to be looked at and trimmed but all advertising budgets should be trimmed for all formats, not just who you don’t like. Turns this issue into a petty child’s argument. I’m not fond of 40 year olds acting like petty children. If I’m a reporter and I put a mic in your face and point blank say---it appears this legislation is biased towards specific media which makes this political instead of policy, can you explain why print media is not affected---you have absolutely no logical answer.<br /><br />4:50 has great comment re prohibiting name/voice of public/elected official in any ad. (@8:49 am, grow up. You really don’t want to start a who-uses-tv/cledger-the most-to-promote-oneself-issue). Also agree that agencies should never advertise to say—hey, we’re here. If the citizens need to be made aware of an important situation, then the agency should use all mediums to ensure the information is relayed to the citizens. Public service announcements should also be made across all formats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-49771420193230352522012-03-07T09:32:50.217-06:002012-03-07T09:32:50.217-06:00"A good other alternative would be to prohibi..."A good other alternative would be to prohibit the name or voice of any public or elected official in any ad.

MDH gets to make PSAs about vaccination programs, and we don't get an election year blitz of B.S. (at least, that we have to pay for). <br /><br />Blunt instruments are created by blunt minds.
