Taiwan Public Television Service Foundation, also known as PTS and Public Television Service, is a privately owned entity headquartered in Taiwan, operating under parent company Taiwan Broadcasting System. Established in 1998, this tier 2 media tech buyer employs approximately 220 individuals and reported $99.8M in revenue as of 2023. The organization functions as the first independent public broadcasting institution in Taiwan, specializing in broadcast television and radio. Its establishment was initially proposed in 1980, with early efforts by the executive-level Government Information Office (GIO) to create a separate entity for public interest programs. Responsibility later shifted to the Chinese Public Television Broadcasting Development Fund. Following the lifting of martial law in the early 1990s, legislative initiatives led to the enactment of the statutes creating PTS in 1997.
On August 3, 2026, Taiwanese television entered a notable period of creative success, underscoring the significance of public institutions in the industry's development. This follows a May 7, 2026, incident where Public Television Service (PTS) Chairperson Hu Yuan-hui was asked to leave a legislative Education and Culture Committee meeting. KMT Legislator Lo Chih-chiang requested Hu's departure, citing that Hu's term had ended in May 2025, which deepened a political standoff between the main opposition Kuomintang (KMT) and the Ministry of Culture (MOC).
