Free Speech TV (FSTV) is an independent, non-profit TV station based in Denver, Colorado, that was started in 1995. It is supported by public donations and is owned and operated by Public Communicators Incorporated, an organization that was founded in 1974.

Free Speech TV started as a cable television show in 1989. From 1995 to 2000, Free Speech TV distributed its programming each week via videotape to 50 cable channels around the United States. Free Speech today is a multi-platform news source available on DirecTV, some cable providers, online, and on Channel 9415 on U.S. satellite system Dish Network, which is forced to carry the channel in order to comply with FCC rules adopted in 1998 that demand that cable and satellite carriers reserve a certain amount of space "for noncommercial programming of an educational or informational nature."

Free Speech TV is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. Free Speech TV is supported primarily through philanthropic contributions. Viewer donations are the fastest-growing source of support, as thousands of viewers make annual donations ranging from $5 to $10,000+.

Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas via speech. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, as with libel, slander, obscenity and incitement to commit a crime.

The right to freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the ICCPR states that "[e]veryone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference" and "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice". Article 19 goes on to say that the exercise of these rights carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subject to certain restrictions" when necessary "[f]or respect of the rights or reputation of others" or "[f]or the protection of national security or of public order (order public), or of public health or morals".
