Public television

Public television is a non-commercial broadcasting service funded mainly by government support, viewer donations, and grants. It aims to provide educational, cultural, and informational programming that serves the public interest, often including news, documentaries, arts, and educational content. Unlike commercial TV, public television does not rely on advertising revenue, allowing it to prioritize quality and diverse programming that benefits the community. It operates with a mission to inform, educate, and entertain audiences, often focusing on content that may not be commercially viable but is valuable for society.
