Public television in the U.S. is examined as a public sphere institution through the case of the Wisconsin Collaborative Project (WCP), a programming cooperative contributing to the national PBS schedule. The prevailing model of the organizational field of public television is revised to analyze the expansion of horizontal exchange, diversity, and decentralization represented by the WCP, and thus the capacity of public television to fulfill its public sphere mission
