A: TPT is the Twin Cities PBS member station – the critical link that brings PBS (and other) content to our local community. TPT is an independently funded and run 501C3 non-profit that is part of a membership network of public television stations who make up the PBS system.

PBS is a private, nonprofit national corporation whose members are America’s public TV stations (like TPT) — noncommercial, educational licensees that operate 350 PBS member stations and serve all 50 states, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa.
