Wisconsin Public Television's four channels – WPT, The Wisconsin Channel, Create, and WPT PBS KIDS – are available over the air via antenna and to all cable and satellite providers. Some cable and satellite providers offer all four, while others currently only offer the WPT flagship channel. If you are not seeing all four channels available on your TV, read our troubleshooting tips to help you find possible solutions.
We remain committed to providing our content to your community via Comcast and all other platforms as part of our mission to serve free of charge. We would love it if Comcast would return us to your local line-up, cost-free, though that isn't a decision we can make on their behalf. While we hope to resolve this, you can also enjoy our content via wpt.org/watch, with an over-the-air antenna, or video streaming services.
