:''For information on Channels 10 and 36 individually, see WMVS and WMVT'' Milwaukee Public Television (MPTV) is the collective brand for two PBS member television stations located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin: WMVS (channel 10) and WMVT (channel 36). Both stations are owned and operated by Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC). ==Overview== WMVT and WMVS share studio facilities located at the Continuing Education Center on the Milwaukee Area Technical College campus at 1036 North 8th Street in downtown Milwaukee; by coincidence of the city's grid system, MPTV has the unique distinction of its studio's address number incorporating the channel numbers for both of the stations (most television and radio stations that have their channel number as an address use a vanity address or street not within a community's numbering system, e.g. KLAS-TV channel 8 in Las Vegas is located on Channel 8 Drive). The stations maintain transmitter facilities at the MPTV Tower, located at the northern end of Humboldt Boulevard in Milwaukee's Estabrook Park neighborhood; the facility went into service in 1999, and is owned in conjunction with the American Tower Corporation (MPTV formerly leased space on the WITI TV Tower for WMVS and WMVT's respective transmitters from the 1960s until 1981, and then WVTV's tower until 1999).〔http://www.americantower.com/OASISPublic/SitePublicPage/SiteBrochure.asp?lngSiteDevelopmentId=&lngSearchRingID=&lngColocationId=&lngBusinessFunctionID=&lngProjectID=&lngSiteID=3844&lngTowerID=&lngProjectSubTypeId=〕 Besides transmitting WMVS and WMVT, MPTV/American Tower leases tower and transmitter space on the MPTV Tower for WVTV and WCGV-TV (channels 18 and 24, both owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group), religious independent station WVCY-TV (channel 30, owned by VCY America), WMKE-CD (channel 7, carrying Soul of the South Network programming), WPXE (channel 55, owned by Ion Media Networks) and WTSJ-LP (channel 38, owned by DTV America and the only analog station that transmits from the tower). This provides MPTV an additional and steady source of revenue. Milwaukee Public Television has some of the highest viewership of any PBS member station in the United States. The group's ''Channel 10 Great TV Auction'' leads the nation's PBS auctions in prime time viewer ratings and is the #1 PBS auction in the nation, based on net revenue.〔(About the Auction )〕 WMVS and WMVT are the only public television stations in Wisconsin which are not affiliated with the Madison-based Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) (a state network that was created fifteen years after the founding of WMVS, and is owned by the University of Wisconsin Extension), although WMVT does carry some of the same Wisconsin Educational Communications Board instructional programming as WPT. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milwaukee Public Television」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
