TPT is committed to creating and distributing diverse views and content that follows a strict set of standards and practices when evaluating any content included in our programming. As a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member station, we align our standards and practices with those of PBS and use those standards to inspire and inform our own. Before you submit your idea, you may want to review our Editorial Standards FAQ.
Submission Types
Completed film or series for consideration: We are always on the lookout for unique Minnesota stories to share with our audience. If you have a finished program that you’d like us to consider to air on our channels, fill out the form below and select: Completed Film/Series for Consideration. If you are a filmmaker looking for a Presenting Station for your finished film, please visit our Presenting Station page.
Idea for documentary or show: If you have an idea for a documentary or series that showcases Minnesota’s rich history, vibrant arts scene, or civic and social engagement, please select: Idea for Documentary, children’s programming, non-fiction series or other programming ideas. TPT’s local and state distribution schedule is determined 3-4 months in advance, so please keep this in mind when submitting programs that are timely in nature.
Almanac & Public Affairs pitches: If your submission is a timely news, events, or public affairs story, please select Pitches for Almanac and Public Affairs on the form below for consideration of inclusion on Almanac.
There are some pitches—such as breaking news, community hearings, or requests to cover a local event—better suited for other sources. For these types of ideas, we encourage you to reach out to your local news organizations, public access channels, newspapers, or public radio.
