The PSA and the Broadcast ReleasePSAs and broadcast releases have almost nothing in common -- except that each is written for radio, and each fits on one page. Public service announcements are openly promotional pitches, submitted to radio broadcasters in the hope that they'll be aired as a public service.

There are also format differences.
