===2015–present===
In August 2015, KTCA/KTCI rebranded from "Twin Cities Public Television" to "Twin Cities PBS" (albeit retaining the "TPT" sub-brand introduced with the 1999 co-branding of the stations) to highlight their status as the PBS member stations for the Minneapolis–St. Paul market.

As part of the January 2000, co-branding of KTCA and KTCI as "Twin Cities Public Television" (see KTCI section above), KTCI began branding on-air as "tpt17".
On February 18, 2009, KTCA/KTCI unified their digital channels as virtual subchannels of KTCA, resulting in KTCI moving its main feed from virtual channel 17 to 2.3; however, both stations continue to maintain separate transmitters on their shared facility on the KMSP broadcast tower in Shoreview and separate FCC licenses. (The Minneapolis–St. Paul market is the only U.S. media market to have its full-power television duopolies map their channels to that of their parent station, rather than their corresponding analog-era channels; Hubbard Broadcasting-owned KSTP/KSTC and Fox-owned KMSP/WFTC maintain similar arrangements.) Correspondingly, KTCI began branding on-air as "tptLife".
