But as I've been saying "network TV" and "network radio" aren't synonymous with the mediums of TV and radio. There's public access and public broadcasting. Though I agree that they have been taken over by commercial interests. It wasn't always that way.

Even PBS mentions the sponsors either at the beginning or ending of the show.
This show is sponsored by the letter E. (That was in 1969). Ok so wasn't a real ad but got children used to sponsored.
