DPTV Media

Established in 2002, and operated by Detroit Public Television (DPTV), DPTV Media is a boutique entertainment label that introduces national and international musicians and specialty artists to North American audiences. As one of the largest producing stations in the PBS system, DPTV seeks new talent that parallels the station’s vision - to Educate, Entertain and Inspire, as well as honors the national PBS vision “Be More.”

"More" is what DPTV Media is all about. Most DPTV Media artists' titles are featured in their own Public TV special that airs nationally across the U.S. These broadcasts help to establish developing artists in North America and provide a promotional opportunity for their CD/DVD titles. Daniel O'Donnell, a PBS favorite, is a prime example of the power of Public TV. His albums continue to chart domestically.

DPTV Media has teamed up with BFD (Bob Frank Distribution) and Sony RED to help ensure that artist’s CD and DVD are accessible to consumers, both physically and digitally. BFD is a boutique audio and audio-visual distributer. RED is recognized by Sony Music Entertainment as an industry leader in music distribution and artist development. These partnerships maximize DPTV’s ability to reach audiences far and wide.

Together these companies working hand in hand with DPT Media create the perfect platform for new artists to take off and soar into the hearts and homes of consumers all throughout America.
