About
The Public Television Major Market Group (PTMMG) is a consortium of 40 of the largest public TV stations by market size in the United States. The group represents 70% of the nation's audience. The PTMMG is a leadership organization within public media that strives to develop and implement high impact, financially sustainable business models for public media that enable the organization to best serve their communities. Many of the projects created within the PTMMG are then shared with the larger public media community.
The PTMMG facilitates sharing ideas, information, and providing collaboration among its members on activities of mutual concern to improve the range, quality, and effectiveness of the stations' services. This PTMMG explores and implements new initiatives to improve the public TV system and takes leadership positions to effect action and the outcome of major public television policy issues.
