In addition to stations that ran airings from networks, interviews were also conducted with local stations. The focus of the radio tour was on targeting local stations with local events. Localized press releases and localized briefing sheets were designed to implement the radio outreach strategy. This enabled the dissemination of information carrying National relevance to the state and local level. This strategy was successful in promoting local events and allowing the SAMHSA spokespersons to interact with interviewers in a personalized manner. While the campaign used a local strategy, the message of “Recovery Month” was nationally distributed. The Media Network secured interviews on stations in 10 of the top 20 markets and in all 20 top markets an interview was aired.
