APT management feared that airing these types of programs would cause angry public officials to cut the network's funding and put the network's future in jeopardy. Therefore, APT followed orders by state officials not to air certain programming during the 1960s and 1970s. However, it has taken a more independent stance over the last 40 or so years. In May 2019, APT became one of two PBS state networks, along with Arkansas PBS, to decline to broadcast an episode of the animated children's series Arthur because it features a same-sex wedding; APT opted to air a rerun of an earlier episode instead. The program director, Mike McKenzie, said that it would be "a violation of trust" for the station to broadcast the episode, and said that the decision was made because some children might watch the episode without their parents, and some children younger than the episode's target demographic might watch the segment. Alabama Public Television had also rejected an episode of the spin-off Postcards from Buster that depicted a same-sex couple in 2005. PBS offered free online streaming of the episode for a limited time to families desiring to view it.
