PB Film

The Palm Beach County Film and Television Commission (FTC) manages the County’s official tourism TV channel, under the direction of the Palm Beach County Tourist Development Council (TDC). The channel broadcasts more than 60 hours of original, high-quality, family-friendly programming. The Palm Beaches TV (PBTV), which launched in 2017, is designed to support and stimulate tourism by offering an insider’s look into the area’s top attractions for travel and production.

The FTC created a Sponsorship & Development program to cultivate, and sponsor shows that further develop the expansive library of original content specific to tourism in The Palm Beaches. Shows considered for sponsorship funding are required to have distribution outside The Palm Beaches marketplace, reaching the homes of potential visitors. The programs then stream on The Palm Beaches TV channel where they can also be viewed OnDemand.  Programming for PBTV is produced by regional production companies and the Sponsorship & Development program has been effective in generating new business for the local production community, helping offset the impact of not having a state incentive program.

PBTV is an innovative marketing platform designed to enhance the visitor experience with stories that are unique to Palm Beach County.  The FTC and TDC work together to vet all projects prior to be presented at the Sponsorship & Development Committee for sponsorship approval. While the TDC gives final approval for content on the channel, PBTV is owned, operated, marketed, and distributed by Olympusat, a global media company based in West Palm Beach.
