Aboriginal Peoples Television Network, or APTN, is a Canadian television network which airs and produces programming made by, for, and about Aboriginal peoples in Canada.

It broadcast on CHTY-TV, channel 11 in Yellowknife; CHWT-TV, channel 11 in Whitehorse, and several rebroadcasters across the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador. APTN made its debut as a national network in 1999. The network is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Image File history File links Aptn. ...

APTN's service consists of two different feeds: a terrestrial feed for the Arctic territories (the original TVNC network); and a cable-only, cross-Canada feed.

Since its launch in 1999, the CRTC has required all Canadian cable television operators to carry APTN. It is one of four officially licenced television networks in Canada, thus placing it on par with CBC, Radio-Canada and TVA. However, APTN's ratings are very low outside the Arctic territories because most cable companies place it above channel 60 on their systems. The CRTC has considered requiring cable companies to move APTN to a lower dial position. 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...
