   1. Why our listeners will find it interesting.
   2. What the event is.
   3. Where it is being held.
   4. Who is putting it on.
   5. When it's happening (time, day, date, month).
   6. When the announcement should run, and when it should end.
   7. No announcement will run more than three weeks.
4. Indicate ticket prices or other charges.
