NAB TO DISTRIBUTE DRUNK DRIVING PREVENTION PSAs AT NAB RADIO SHOW

WASHINGTON, DC -- NAB will distribute over 70 drunk driving prevention public service announcements (PSAs) featuring the landmark tagline "Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk" to radio stations nationwide during The NAB Radio Show in Austin, TX. The campaign is a collaborative effort among NAB, Recording Artists, Actors and Athletes Against Drunk Driving (RADD: The Entertainment Industry's Voice for Road Safety), the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Ad Council encouraging people to intervene in order to prevent friends from driving drunk.

Designed to target 21- to 34-year-olds, the critical audience that represents over half of all alcohol-related fatalities, the PSAs feature a variety of celebrity entertainers categorized according to radio station format and the recording artists' primary genre. Available in both English and Spanish, the CD contains PSAs that can be aired year-round as well as holiday-specific PSAs.

In addition to distribution at The NAB Radio Show, CDs will be mailed to stations later this month. PSAs can also be downloaded online at www.nabspotcenter.org.
