Connecticut Public Television (CPTV) is a statewide public television network, providing PBS programming in Connecticut.

The station also operates a Waterbury translator, W12BH. In addition, CPTV is available on cable in Springfield, Massachusetts.

[edit] Services

All CPTV stations carry the same programming. The only difference are two stations: CPTV2 and CPTV Kids. CPTV2 merely rebroadcasts the Create lifestyle/human interest channel. CPTV Kids, as can be implied by the title, broadcasts mainly children's programming. In addition, CPTV operates an HD channel. CPTV2 and CPTV Kids are mainly carried on cable TV, and also in some areas by DTT.
