The Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) was a trade association involved in labor relations, legislative affairs, and press and public relations for the industry. It was preceded by the Association of Motion Picture Producers (AMPP). The AMPP was organized in 1924 to negotiate labor contracts and in the mid-1930s took over contract negotiation responsibilities from the Academy. In 1982 the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers was succeeded by the similarly named Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
