Alabama Public Television, also known as APT, is a State Owned entity headquartered in the US. Founded in 1955, the organization has approximately 70 employees and reported $44.3M in revenue as of 2023. As a tier 2 media tech buyer, the company primarily functions as a state network of PBS member television stations, offering broadcast television and radio services throughout the U.S. state of Alabama.
Alabama Public Television (APT) leaders reported increased donations after the station chose to maintain its affiliation with PBS, contrasting with Huntsville radio station WLRH, which experienced a significant loss of financial support after dropping National Public Radio (NPR) by January 21, 2026. Previously, on January 7, 2026, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced its dissolution after Congress rescinded all federal funding. This national decision left supporters of local educational television, including APT, uncertain about its future impact as the nation's oldest educational television network. This followed a vote on November 19, 2025, when Alabama Public Television commissioners formally moved to maintain their partnership with PBS. Commissioner Bebe Williams filed the motion to pay the bill and honor APT’s contract, ensuring the continued airing of popular shows such as "Sesame Street" and "Nova." On November 18, 2025, APT voted to keep its current contract with PBS, a decision made after some board members had advanced the idea to sever ties with the network, citing President Donald Trump’s opposition to public broadcasting and efforts to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
