At The New Hot 98-1 we care about Carolina. That's why we want to give you a chance to tell the Upstate about your upcoming community events. Please use the guidelines below to submit your announcements or Hot 98-1 appearance requests!


PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS  
Cox Radio Hot 98.1 Greenville accepts Public Service Announcements to be broadcast on our community calendar and web site. Here are a few guidelines that will help get your public service announcement on faster.  
 
Public service announcements should be written on company letterhead and sent at least two weeks prior to an event. Your announcement should be basic, including, dates, times, locations, and contact info.  
 
Public service announcements are on a first come first serve basis and are not guaranteed to be put on the air or website. We will make every effort to afford each organization public service announcements.  
 
If you have any questions on PSA'S or would like to forward one to us for our community calendar, please contact Promotions at 864-232-9810 or fax at 864-370-3403, or Email our Webmaster  
 
 
COMMUNITY RELATIONS  
The work of Cox Radio Greenville-WHZT does not end when the microphone is turned off. It extends beyond the airways and into the communities of The Upstate. Many schools, hospitals, charities and civic groups will be impacted by Hot 98.1's involvement in their communities. Making hundreds of appearances a year by Hot 98.1's Air Staff, Promotional Team, and interns, many communities in the Upstate will have felt Hot 98.1's presence.  
 
Hot 98.1's Community Relations Department handles a broad range of requests for station involvement. These include everything from appearance requests for air staff, promotional vehicles,to managing in-kind donation requests, partnering on fund-raisers and the production of public service announcements.  
 
 
DONATION REQUESTS  
Due to the large number of requests that we receive, Hot 98.1 has established a regional policy for donations of prizes. Organizations within The Upstate will generally receive support from Hot 98.1 depending on the nature and scope of the request or event. All requests must be made in writing to the community relations department at least four to six weeks in advance. Hot 98.1 is happy to support non-profit organizations and schools when we are able to do so. All requests will be reviewed, although a request does not guarantee a Hot 98.1 prize. Our support depends on availability of prizes and the time of year of your request.  
 
 
CONTACT INFORMATION  
All requests for Hot 98.1 donations and appearances must be submitted in writing on your organization's letterhead at least 45 days prior to the event. Letters should include a contact person, phone number, address, and type of event, date, time, and topic of speech, group, group size and directions to the event location. Address your letter to: Fisher c/o The New Hot 98.1, 220 N. Main St. Suite 402 Greenville, SC 29601  
 
 
If your request is for a non-air staff appearance, you can expect to hear back from us within ten business days. You will often be notified earlier by phone. Air Staff appearances are generally confirmed 2-3 weeks prior to the event.
