Create is a public television channel focused on lifestyle, how-to, and instructional programming. The Create TV guide provides viewers with complete information about upcoming broadcasts, featuring popular shows on cooking, arts and crafts, home improvement, gardening, and travel. Because broadcast times can vary depending on local public television stations and regional time zones, checking regular TV listings helps ensure you do not miss your favorite instructional programs.
About Create Television
Create is widely distributed as a digital multicast channel by public television stations across the United States. Produced and operated by American Public Television (APT), WNET New York, and WGBH Boston, the network launched to provide viewers with 24/7 instructional and lifestyle content.
Unlike traditional commercial networks, Create focuses primarily on public television's most recognizable how-to series. Its lineup highlights expert-led tutorials, cultural exploration, and DIY projects designed for viewers looking to learn new skills or explore hobbies.
Create TV Guide
Using a comprehensive TV guide allows viewers to browse daily broadcast blocks, locate specific episodes, and plan their weekly viewing. Create organizes its schedule around distinct lifestyle genres, making it easy to find specific types of programming throughout the day.
- Today's Schedule: View daytime and evening broadcasts scheduled for the current date.

Programming times can vary by date, region, and provider. Check the latest listings for the most current schedule in your area.
How to Read Create TV Listings
Understanding local tv listings ensures you capture accurate episode times for your area. Local public television affiliates often air Create on a secondary digital subchannel, which means local airtimes may be adjusted for regional time zones or community programming events.
When reviewing the schedule, take note of:
- Time Zone Adjustments: Schedules are often listed in Eastern Time (ET) or Pacific Time (PT). Confirm your local offsets.
- Episode Titles & Numbers: Check whether a broadcast is a new release or a classic repeat of a lifestyle series.
- Themed Marathons: Create frequently airs multi-hour blocks of specific series on weekends, known as "Create Showcases."

Create features a diverse range of instructional categories hosted by well-known culinary chefs, artisans, home renovators, and travel enthusiasts.

How to Use the Create TV Schedule
Finding your favorite program involves a few quick steps on your local TV listings page:
- Select your current geographic location or broadcast provider.
- Choose the target viewing date (today, tonight, or an upcoming date).
- Filter or scroll to your local public television station's Create subchannel.

Viewing & Distribution Information
Create is primarily available over-the-air (OTA) via free digital broadcast subchannels supplied by local PBS member stations. It is also carried by most major cable providers and select digital streaming services that offer local public television station feeds. Availability depends directly on local station carriage agreements in your media market.
Regional and Time-Zone Variations
Because Create relies on local public broadcast stations for transmission, airtimes are not always uniform nationwide. A program airing at 6:00 PM Eastern standard schedule might air at a different local time on your member station's digital subchannel. Always cross-reference national program listings with your local station schedule.
