Free Speech TV

Free Speech TV is one of the last standing national, independent news networks committed to advancing progressive social change. As the alternative to television networks owned by billionaires, governments and corporations, their network amplifies underrepresented voices and those working on the front lines of economic, environment and racial justice.

Led by Co-Founder and Executive Director Jon Stout, Free Speech TV airs 24/7 with daily news programs like Democracy Now! and The Thom Hartmann Program, weekly current affairs series like Gay USA and Economic Update, award-winning documentaries, and special coverage of events and movements like Netroots Nation, Bioneers and the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. FSTV reaches 40 million US homes via DISH, DIRECTV, local cable affiliates, Sling TV, Roku, Apple TV, Alexa, Amazon Fire, social media and www.freespeech.org.  Free Speech TV’s national audience is loyal, passionate, and engaged, with viewer support experiencing strong growth over the past five-plus years.

Free Speech TV is owned and operated by Public Communicators, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit, tax-exempt organization. FSTV is funded primarily by its viewers with some support from philanthropic foundations. FSTV is commercial-free, but they do accept underwriting sponsorships from socially screened companies and non-profits. Free Speech TV is based in Denver, CO.

Free Speech TV is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to fostering a diverse workplace.
