WTVP is the PBS station for Peoria, Bloomington, and Galesburg, Illinois. Its analog television station allocation is channel 47, and its digital allocation is channel 46.

The station has had a long history of cooperation with Bradley University and radio station WCBU, but is independently owned by the non-profit Illinois Valley Public Telecommunications Corporation.

Originally channel 59 was reserved in Peoria for public television, but WTVP chose the lower open channel 47 allocation. The FCC later moved the public television reservation to 47 to allow commercial use of channel 59, which became WAOE.

Originally the call letters WTVP belonged to a station, now known, as WAND in Decatur, Illinois.
