Research notes

Created 2026-10-24 by an AI research pass for #103 (A1); not reviewed by a person. Only the 2007 press release was found. It says 2007 was Jazz's second year backing the campaign, so the start year 2006 is inferred and the 2006 content is unknown; end year 2007 is the last year seen. Whether the PSAs aired on TV, radio or both is not stated. The press release gave a toll-free number 1-888-SLEEP-67. To verify: start year 2006; end year 2007; three PSAs.
