DPTV Media is an independent entertainment label that introduces international and national musical performers and specialty artists to North American audiences.

DPTV Media was created in 2002 as an ancillary organization by Detroit Public Television to generate income for fundraising efforts. As one of the largest producing stations in the PBS system, DPTV seeks new talent that parallels the stations 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. Show airings help to establish developing artists in North America and provide wonderful promotion for their titles. Daniel O'Donnell, a PBS favorite, is a prime example of the power of Public TV. His albums continue to chart domestically. During the week ending 12/05/04, Daniel dominated the Billboard World Music Chart occupying 9 of the 15 positions including #1.

DPTV Media utilizes the expertise of the largest independent distributor, E1 Entertainment Distribution, to make certain that artists' CDs and DVDs are easily accessible to all consumers. A sales force of 100+ ensures product is placed in all major traditional and online retailers across North America.
