PTC (short for Public Television of Ccera) is a Ccerish free-to-air television network, which is launched on April 3, 1980. It was owned by CSB. PTC is known as one of the 5 largest public TV networks alongside CRT 1, CRT 2, CRT 3 and RTV.

History
Before the 80s, Ccera had no nationwide public television networks, although regional public TV stations existed since the 60s. In 1978, the government had enlightened CSB to make the first major public television network in the country. CSB has already made public radio stations, and the CEO at the time spoke out with officials to look forward to the future of TV and the company. Test transmissions took place from that same year to January 1980.

PTC got eventually launched in April 1980, and was first started with the grand opening program called "Welcome to the Public TV". The opening program ran for 1 hour, starting at 6:00 PM, which was followed by a movie "Straightforward" from Ccerish Films (now CRT Films), then a bulletin in 8:30 PM that ran for 10 minutes, and a concert in Bergend from 8:40 PM before closing at 11:00 PM.

In 1982, PTC started airing their evening news program, called News at 8 (now Hour 8), and the timetable for each day consists of children's programming in the morning, comedy and entertainment in the afternoon, then followed by an evening newscast then some dramas in the post-news evening, before closing at midnight.

In the latters 80's and early 90's, the channel became the most popular in Ccera, which is because of quality gain throughout the decades. During this time, the channel even had popular shows such as Downtown Walk and Last Stand. By the mid 90s, the channel gained 65% viewer share, causing CRT 1 to rapidly decline it's share to 24%.

However, by the late 90s, CRT 1 had blown up in popularity because of stunning shows, intros, and idents, and even a sudden gain of attraction, throwing PTC off the top spot. In the later years, there was a steady decline in the viewer share for the network. It went down from it's peak 65% in 1996 to 39% in 2005.

By 2010's, PTC slowly started increasing shares, and has aired April Fool's jokes from 2011 to 2020. In November 2023, PTC had granted a license from Glitch Productions to air The Amazing Digital Circus.
