Iowa Public Television (IPTV) is a statewide public broadcasting network of television stations in the state of Iowa.


Nine full-power TV stations make up the network:

  • KDIN, channel 11, Des Moines
  • KIIN, channel 12, Iowa City
  • KTIN, channel 21, Fort Dodge
  • KYIN, channel 24, Mason City
  • KSIN, channel 27, Sioux City
  • KBIN, channel 32, Council Bluffs
  • KRIN, channel 32, Waterloo
  • KHIN, channel 36, Red Oak
  • KQIN, channel 36, Davenport

The network also has eight low-power repeater signals, located in Decorah (channel 14), Rock Rapids (channel 25), Ottumwa (channel 33), Sibley (channel 33), Fort Madison (channel 38), Lansing (channel 41), Keokuk (channel 44), and Keosauqua (channel 54).


IPTV began in 1969 as the Iowa Educational Broadcasting Network, which purchased the former KDPS-TV from the Des Moines Public Schools and renamed it KDIN-TV. KIIN-TV in Iowa City, serving most of eastern Iowa, became the network's second affiliate in 1970. By 1977 the newly-renamed Iowa Public Broadcasting Network had eight full-power stations; a ninth, KQIN in Davenport, joined the network in 2003. The Iowa Public Television name was adopted in 1982.


Although IPTV provides PBS programming, it also produces original programs such as Iowa Press, a panel discussion show; Market to Market, a show about agribusiness; and Living in Iowa, a magazine show focusing on Iowa life.


IPTV's studios are located in Johnston, Iowa.
