Who owns Detroit Public Television?
WTVS Detroit Public Television, first broadcast in 1955, is a non-commercial, viewer-supported public television station licensed to the Detroit Educational Television Foundation. As a community licensee, WTVS is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees made up of approximately 45 Detroit area citizens. The staff of Detroit Public Television is led by WTVS President and General Manager Rich Homberg. As a partner with the communities it serves, Detroit Public Television (DPTV) receives input from its Community Advisory Panel (CAP), comprised of volunteer representatives from metropolitan Detroit and Windsor. These Panel members advise DPTV on the programming needs and interests of the public, provide targeted outreach to alert interested groups to the programming and resources of DPTV, and maintain a pro-active role with both DPTV and the community at large. The public is invited to attend these meetings and voice their interests as well. For more information on attending these meeting
