Although APTN's primary audience is Aboriginal peoples, current audience measurement of sampled homes in large urban settings primarily captures the secondary audience consisting of the non-Aboriginal population.

Results from a cross-Canada station branding study shows the reason for this success is because for the first time in history Aboriginal Peoples are seeing their lives and cultures reflected on television as they actually are, the release continues.

APTN is on the same level with CBC and Radio-Canada in the fact that APTN is a CRTC-licenced national network.
However, most cable systems consider APTN to be an unimportant service, and as a result, they carry APTN in the high region of their spectrum, usually above channel 60.
Consequently, this placement of APTN has rendered the service out of reach on many older television sets, which typically only go up to channel 69, or in the case of much older television sets, channel 36.
