(I worked for 4 years at my college radio station and actually used to generate/record PSAs on carts for the station and when I was on the air, would air them and had to log them in a logbook).

My only issue was your one sentence in your original post -

But you don't pay for PSAs.

And for federal PSAs, it comes out of taxpayer money for the benefit of the country.
