Maryland Public Television (MPT) is the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member state network serving the U.S. state of Maryland, including the Baltimore metropolitan area and Washington, D.C. . The network is governed by the Maryland Public Broadcasting Commission, an agency of the Maryland state government, and was first established when its flagship station, WMPB in Baltimore, signed on the air on October 5, 1969 . The network later expanded to include additional stations, adopting its current name, Maryland Public Television, in 1984. MPT’s headquarters, studios, and master control operations are located at 11767 Owings Mills Blvd. in Owings Mills, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore .

The network broadcasts over six full-power transmitters that cover nearly all of Maryland, plus Washington, D.C., and parts of Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania . Several of these stations serve the Baltimore area directly: WMPB (channel 67) is licensed to Baltimore and serves as the network’s flagship station, while WMPT (channel 22) in Annapolis provides additional coverage . As a dedicated source for online television, MPT’s main channel, MPT-HD, is available over-the-air on WMPB 67.1 and WMPT 22.1, and is carried by major cable and satellite providers in the Baltimore region, including Comcast (HD channel 812 or 1022, SD channel 22) and Verizon Fios (channel 522) . MPT also operates several additional digital channels: MPT2/Create (22.2/67.2), PBS Kids (22.3/67.3), and NHK World (22.4/67.4), offering how-to programming, children’s educational content, and international news .

The programming schedule features a strong mix of national PBS programs and highly popular local original productions. The network’s signature local series is Maryland Farm & Harvest, which has been on the air since 2013 and has traveled to more than 500 farms across every Maryland county, telling stories about agriculture, the state’s number one commercial industry . The series airs on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. and is hosted by two-time Emmy Award-winning journalist Joanne Clendining, with Al Spoler handling the weekly The Local Buy cooking segment . The series’ 12th season premiered in late 2024, and episodes are available on the MPT livestream and PBS app . Additional recurring local and regional productions include civic and public affairs programs, as well as original performance and documentary offerings covering a variety of topics . MPT is also a frequent winner of regional Emmy Awards for its locally focused content .

The station’s over‑the‑air signal for the Baltimore area is broadcast from a tower 1,007 feet above average terrain with an effective radiated power of 90 kW . For audiences seeking a reliable live stream, MPT’s programming is accessible as tv online via its official website livestream at mpt.org/livestream, as well as through the free PBS Video App, which provides both live and on‑demand access to episodes of Maryland Farm & Harvest and other local and national programs .
