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.
