The Weekly SPOTlight

Each week, we pick a new business category and ask RSC members to share spots they've produced for a local business in this category. Listen to what other stations are doing, and get some great new ideas for your clients! Two basic guidelines we ask you to follow: 1) no ads that promote adult entertainment or include suggestive language and 2) no ads that poke fun at individuals or groups (ethnicities or religions, for example) in a way that could be deemed offensive. Thank you!
