The American Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS) is an activity of the Internal Communications (IC) under the direction of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs (ASD/PA). The AFRTS mission is to provide radio and television information and entertainment programming to Department of Defense (DoD) personnel and their family members stationed overseas or serving at sea where English language broadcast service is unavailable or inadequate. The programs are representative of those seen and heard in the United States, and are provided without censorship, propagandizing or manipulation.
