AETN & @arkansastv Station Identifications Compilation (1979-2025)

Описание: The compilation of Arkansas PBS (formerly known as AETN) from 1979 to present.

The Arkansas Educational Television Commission was created in 1961, following a two-year legislative study to assess the need for educational television programming in Arkansas. KETS (channel 2) in Little Rock, the flagship station of what became known as the Arkansas Educational Television Network (AETN), first signed on the air as the nation's 124th educational television station on December 4, 1966. In the early years, KETS was associated with National Educational Television, the forerunner of the current PBS. In the station's early years, KETS broadcast its programming black-and-white only, before upgrading to color capabilities in 1972. The station maintained limited hours of operation during its early years, with its programming focused primarily on instructional content for use in Arkansas schools.

During the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, AETN became an educational resource for public school and college educators through the use of instructional videos with teacher guides and supplements for grade school classrooms, college telecourses and GED education for adults. During the mid-1990s, AETN began providing distance learning via broadcast, satellite, the Internet and compressed video to provide educational professional development as well as access for students to a wide variety of educational courses for classroom use.

On February 14, 2020, AETN announced that it would rebrand as "Arkansas PBS" on February 28, coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of PBS. Enjoy ❤️

EDITOR’S NOTE: Arkansas PBS renamed itself to Arkansas TV to focus on locally produced programming for the state, as well as parting ways with PBS after the government took away funding.
