Did you hear it?

During the week of December 11, ASHI’s 60-second audio news release aired nationally within Viewpoints, a weekly, half-hour nationally syndicated program reporting on consumer issues. With an average of 420 affiliate stations, the program delivers a reach that covers 86 percent of the United States. The radio spots were a small piece of a public relations program designed to educate the public on the value of a home inspection conducted by an ASHI member.
