1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

This address is a suite or unit (STE 1200N). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Develop and deliver valued program choices and services in partnership with America's public television community. Since 1961, American Public Television has been a leading distributor of high-quality programming to the nation's public television stations. With approximately 4,000 hours of available programming, APT identifies innovative programs and creative distribution techniques for producers. For six decades, we have established a tradition of providing public television stations with the choices that enable them to strengthen and customize their schedules.

  • Domestic distribution of educational public television programming in the United States. On an annual basis, APT's three core programming services collectively provide nearly 4,000 hours of content to help the 350+ independent public television stations across the United States customize and strengthen their broadcast schedules. Each service specializes in different genres: Exchange specializes in documentaries, how-to, lifestyle and travel series; Syndication specializes in international productions (drama, comedy, documentary), and feature-film packages; Premium Service specializes in high-profile performance specials.

  • Digital distribution of educational public television programming in the United States. In 2006, APT launched the national Create(r) TV channel featuring the best of public television's lifestyle programming. Today, Create TV reaches approximately 85% of United States television households. Create TV is a nationwide channel produced and distributed by American Public Television (APT), New York-based WNET and WGBH Boston in association with the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Create TV features public television "do-it-yourself" series and specials on cooking, travel, arts and crafts, gardening, home improvement and other lifestyle interests. Create TV was launched to serve an increasing interest from viewers in the "do-it-yourself" genre, and was designed for round-the-clock broadcast of the most popular lifestyle and how-to programming seen on public television. To develop the national release of the Create TV channel, American Public Television (APT) collaborated with WNET and WGBH Boston, with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. In 2007, the public affairs and documentary channel WORLD(sm) premiered; in 2011 it expanded into a multi-platform offering. WORLD is distributed by APT and is broadcast with coverage reaching nearly two-thirds of the USA. WORLD is a 24/7, full service multicast channel featuring nonfiction documentary, science and news programming, produced and distributed by WGBH/Boston, American Public Television (APT) and WNET/New York in association with PBS and NETA. WORLD's goals include the development, curation and creation of content which complements the programming seen on primary public television channels. With WORLD, local public television station licensees are able to provide two to three times more independent, nonfiction programming than is featured on most of their primary channels, and provide viewers with independent voices telling personal stories from around the globe.

    Expenses $556,842 · Revenue $1,168,633

  • Distribute English language educational programming to platforms outside of U.S. public media.

Our program catalog includes award-winning documentaries, popular cooking and travel series, current affair programs as well as science, history, health and business titles.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
