Please help Colorado Public Television stay on track as we work to meet the costs of expanded services.

This fall, the station is planning to launch additional channels on cable and expand its coverage for over-the-air viewers.

But just as the nation, the state and so many individuals have had to wrestle with shrinking budgets, Channel 12 is facing a serious revenue shortfall this year.

Please help us raise the $398,000 needed to keep the station on track. It's a goal we simply can't afford to miss.

With your help, Colorado Public Television can reach its goal and continue with the improvements to EXPAND YOUR VIEW!

Channel 12 has always been a pioneer in independent media. Through grassroots support from individual viewers like you, the station is able to offer an alternative to the mainstream.

YOU make it happen! Please help us provide more channels and more great programming to more people in our communities.

Donate now using the form below, and together we can reach our goal to EXPAND YOUR VIEW!

    • Channel 12.1 - CPT12
    • The station's flagship signal provides a widely-recognized model for alternative PBS service - setting a high standard for superb local, national and international programs. Now celebrating 30 years, Channel 12 continues to educate and entertain with the best in children's, music, documentary, health, global and public affairs programming.

    • Channel 12.2 - CPT12 +
    • The NEW Channel 12.2 offers an expanded lineup of documentaries, children's programming, targeted how-to shows about exercise, cooking, home improvements and travel, as well as nightly music specials. Channel 12.2 gives viewers the chance to take a second - and often more in-depth - look at the relevant programming of the day.

    • Channel 12.3 - CPT12 WV
    • This channel features MHz WORLDVIEW - a lineup of programs from around the world that provide diverse cultural perspectives for a globally-minded audience. Programming blocks include world news, foreign affairs, international mysteries, world music, sports, and foreign films.

  • To Help Cover More of Colorado
  • Colorado Public Television is expanding its coverage to include more communities than ever before! Ongoing improvements to our transmitters and wider digital carriage on cable and satellite systems are extending the station's reach in almost every direction across the state.

  • As a Great Investment
  • Channel 12 is a spry, frugal station. With its small staff, modest salaries and careful planning, its annual costs are less than $1 per Colorado citizen. For this small sum, the station offers three channels of diverse programming, one of the nation's best public television websites, and an expanding array of digital services and community engagement.
    Close

  • To Continue a 30-Year Legacy
  • Channel 12 has always championed experimentation, creativity, new ideas and high broadcasting standards - all while working on a shoestring budget. Now is the time to support the station and help us bring this local tradition of independence and innovation to more people in more areas of Colorado.
