Public Service Announcements

A Public Service Announcement (PSA) is an announcement intended to provide a service to the public. PSAs provide information about a non-commercial service in the public interest, announcements of upcoming public events or safety information. Only non-profit or not-for-profit organizations, educational, and government agencies may place a PSA on the Community Bulletin Board (CBB).
