Broadcasters have a mandate to serve the public interest of the communities in which they operate. Every station in the country is a local station and very much a part of the community it is licensed to serve.
Your local ratio and television stations:
- Provide news coverage of important issues and community events
- Offer a lifeline for the community in disasters and times of crisis
- Participate in community clean-ups, walk-a-thons, fundraisers and more
- Send station staff to talk to local schools and other groups and host community events
- Provide in-depth political campaign coverage and debates that help local voters make informed decisions
The OAB invites you to find the stations in your area and learn more about the ways in which Ohio broadcasters touch lives locally.
