Independent Television Service

The Independent Television Service (ITVS) was founded in 1991 and "brings to local, national and international audiences high-quality, content-rich programs created by a diverse body of independent producers. ITVS programs take creative risks, explore complex issues, and express points of view seldom seen on commercial or public television. ITVS programming reflects voices and visions of underrepresented communities and addresses the needs of underserved audiences, particularly minorities and children...

"ITVS is funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people."
