The Public Television Advantage

Public television really is different from other television outlets. Not only has it won more prestigious awards than any other broadcast or cable channel, Public Television offers a fifty-year history of high quality, credible, and entertaining content. Some additional benefits include:

• A uniquely clutter-free environment: No more than 6 minutes of
  non-programming (commercial) time is allowed per hour, versus
  14 -17 minutes for network or cable TV.

• Expanded exposure: Public television reaches 99% of all American homes.

• A hands-on connection with viewers: Sponsors will benefit from the large network of 350+ Public Television stations across the country, each staffed with educational professionals who bring unique and tailored outreach opportunities to their communities.

• Enhanced corporate reputation: Evaluative studies show that viewers perceive Public Television sponsors as higher quality organizations than other companies. Furthermore, a recent Roper Public Opinion Poll shows that Americans recognize Public Television as a highly credible source, ranking it more trustworthy than courts of law, the federal government, commercial broadcast networks, newspapers, Congress, and cable television.
