Maybe I’ll play it at the half hour break on True Story sometime. I have control over what plays at my half hour break but not immediately before or after the show.
That series of PSAs is totally cheesy...on purpose. There’s a country music couple (used today), a hip city couple and a verrrrrrry sweet couple designed especially to air on Christian radio stations.
I think that may have been the first public service announcement from the government designed especially for “family-friendly” radio stations.
The whole series of spots almost didn’t get recorded because a certain person in control didn’t like them when they read them. So my ad agency’s creative director and I went up to this person’s office and acted them out. This person has a very pronounced southern accent that I learned to imitate. So when I read the female lead for the country spots, I used this boss’ accent and the boss ended up loving the spots. WHEW.
