For more than two decades, American Public Television, located in Boston, Massachusetts, has been a major program supplier for the nation's public television stations. American Public Television both acquires finished programs and develops/produces original programming concepts, which are distributed to public television stations nationwide. The hallmark of each program offered by American Public Television has been - and always will be - its quality and ability to meet local station programming needs.

Public television offers an attractive broadcast platform, with opportunities for multiple airings and increased exposure for programming, which, in turn, maximizes related merchandise sales. American Public Television can provide producers with access to this desirable venue.

While American Public Television seeks the highest possible carriage for its programs, it recognizes that many programs appeal to important, but less-than-national audience groupings, and undertakes the distribution of programming that is tailored to specific interests or demographics. Clearance of all American Public Television programs is, therefore, based on local station interest; some programs are carried by the majority of stations, others, by a smaller number.

The American Public Television program staff searches for quality programming from overseas and domestic markets, including commercial syndication services, foreign public and commercial broadcasters, film studios, record labels, cable networks, independent producers, and the public television stations themselves.
