The organization formed in 1946 as a gathering of television professionals on the West Coast. During the 1970s it separated from its eastern partner organization to create separate structures for different regions.
The Television Archive maintained by the ATAS Foundation preserves over 475 interviews with television industry professionals, documenting the evolution of American broadcasting.

Its legal structure as a nonprofit business organization distinguishes it from purely charitable foundations and permits industry-specific activities.
