Interested in submitting your own PSA? Please visit our Public Service Announcements page located on the sidebar.
WUVT (001)
WUVT would like to remind you not to drink and drive. It doesn’t matter if you’ve had one drink or ten. It doesn’t matter if you’re driving a hundred miles or just around the corner. Alcohol impairs your hand-eye coordination, and operating a motor vehicle while under its influence can be fatal to you, or somebody else. Do yourself a favor: If you think you might be drunk– you are, and shouldn’t be driving.
Red Cross (002)
Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. You can do your part to help by giving blood at your local Red Cross Blood Drive. Just one donation can help save more than one person in need. You can visit www.redcrossblooddrive.org to find a blood drive near you.
Raft Crisis Hotline (007)
Need to talk? Raft Crisis Hotline offers 24/7 empathy and support. Whether you’re in a crisis situation or if you want to talk about your stressful day, trained volunteers are ready to listen. Call (540) 961- 8400 to speak with someone who cares.
New River Blues Society (012)
The New River Blues Society is sponsoring a free blues show on April 14th from 1pm to 5pm at the Pulaski Theater in Pulaski, Virginia. The show will feature 3 local blues bands. This event is in support of The Blues Initiative, a blues education branch of the NRBS that provides free blues instrument lessons.
Spending Time Outdoors (098)
Spending time outdoors has never felt more valuable. Whether it's exploring nature, or just relaxing in your yard, let's do it responsibly. WUVT would like to remind you to check for closures and fire restrictions before you go out, and practice social distancing, even when outside. Also, no matter where you are, WUVT encourages you to properly extinguish any outdoor fire. With your help, we can keep our outdoor places safe.
Invasive Firewood (124)
To you, it’s just a piece of firewood, but to invasive insects, it’s a ticket to their next meal. Moving firewood long distances is dangerous for the forest wildlife. Fortunately, stopping these forest killing freeloaders is simple. Buying your firewood near where you’ll burn it, or gathering wood at your campsite if it’s allowed reduces the spread of invasive species. To learn more, you can visit dontmovefirewood.org.
American Tinnitus Association (221)
We all love peace and quiet when we need it, which is why the American Tinnitus Association, a nonprofit in Virginia, wants you to know that "ringing in your ears" after a concert is a sign of hearing damage. In honor of Tinnitus Awareness Week, be kind to your ears and keep the volume down. If you have buzzing, ringing, or hissing in your ears, don't ignore it. Visit ATA.org to get help or to learn more about tinnitus.
Website Submissions (222)
WUVT is now accepting submissions for content to be posted at our website at wuvt.vt.edu. We're looking for music reviews, literature, and pretty much anything you think is cool enough to be on our website! If you're interested, you can email our webmaster, Amir, at amir@wuvt.vt.edu with submissions or questions. We look forward to seeing your submissions!
Pavillion for Jesse Peterman Library (291)
