'''APT''' was founded in 1961 as the Eastern Educational Television Network (EEN), distributing public TV shows such as ''The French Chef'', ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'', and ''Washington Week'' to public television stations on a regional basis, and then nationwide when NET (now PBS) was formed. They changed their name to Interregional Program Service in the 1980s (though it still used the old name on some shows, such as ''Travels in Europe with Rick Steves'', until 1992), became American Program Service (APS) in 1992, and changed to their current name, American Public Television in 1999. It didn't appear to use a logo until 1970, and then stopped using its own logo for nearly two decades after that.
In 1999, [[American Program Service]] (APS) renamed itself to '''American Public Television''' (APT). The company continues to distribute public TV shows nationwide to PBS stations.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon, but when it was in use, it was basically the PBS equivalent to [[Sony Pictures Television]]. It was tacked onto the end of practically every program APT distributed during the period, such as ''The Saddle Club'' and ''A Place of Our Own'', as well as shows on independent public TV stations such as 2010-2019 KCET and on the digital broadcast network Create (which APT partially owns). With the logo ending in 2008 and being replaced by the 5th logo, its presence has dipped down, but it can still be found on older prints of APT programs. It made an appearance on the 2010 documentary ''Greece: Quest For the Gods''. Though APT normally doesn't show its logos at the end of ''The McLaughlin Group'', this made a surprise appearance on a 2009 episode thereof. The original 1999 variant strangely appears before the 1993 [[Connecticut Public Television]] logo on a 2014 episode of ''Scully: The World Show''.
