Milwaukee Public Television is the branding name for the alliance between two Milwaukee based Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) affiliates: WMVS, Channel 10, and WMVT, Channel 36. Both stations are licensed to Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) and are run out of the same studios at the college's campus in downtown Milwaukee.
The stations are the only public television stations in Wisconsin which are not affiliated with the Madison-based Wisconsin Public Television (WPT), although WMVT does carry some of the same Wisconsin Educational Communications Board instructional programming as WPT..
[edit] Trivia
- The Channel 10 Great TV Auction leads the nation's PBS auctions in prime time viewer ratings and is the #1 PBS auction in the nation, based on net revenue.1
- The MPTV studios are located at 1036 N. 8th Street in Milwaukee. By coincidence of the Milwaukee grid system, the station is located at an address which reflects the channels it broadcasts on.
- 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of MPTV in general and WMVS in particular (WMVT didn't sign on until 1963).
