When are PSAs played on WHRB?

• A. 3:30, 6:30, and 9:30 (am and pm)
• B. 2:00, 5:00, 8:00
• C. 1:00, 4:00, 7:00
• D. 12:00, 3:00, 6:00

Answer: (A)

Public service announcements are placed on a regular, predictable schedule so listeners know when to expect them without cluttering top-hour news or prime blocks. On WHRB, the chosen cadence is every three hours at the half hour. That means PSAs appear at 3:30, 6:30, and 9:30, and the same pattern repeats in the afternoon and evening, giving 3:30 am, 6:30 am, 9:30 am, 3:30 pm, 6:30 pm, and 9:30 pm. This even spacing makes the announcements easy to remember and keeps them from stacking too closely with other programming. The other time sets don’t maintain that consistent three-hour rhythm or half-hour positioning, which is why they’re not the best fit.
