Oregon Public Broadcasting

Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) is the primary public broadcasting network for most of Oregon as well as southern Washington. It consists of six television stations, dozens of Very high frequency or Ultra high frequency translators, and over 20 List of radio stations in Oregon and frequencies. Broadcasts include local programming as well as programs from Public Broadcasting Service, National Public Radio, Public Radio International, and the BBC World Service.

As of 2004, OPB television has over 1.2 million viewers throughout Oregon and southern Washington. OPB radio averages over 300,000 listeners each week.

OPB traces its roots to 1922, when KFDJ-AM signed on from the Corvallis, Oregon campus of Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University). It became KOAC-AM in 1927. KOAC-TV began operation in 1957. KOAC-AM-TV soon became the flagship for a large network of radio and television stations, which became known as the Oregon Educational and Public Broadcasting Service (OEPBS) in 1971. In 1981, OEPBS was spun off from the Oregon State System of Higher Education and renamed Oregon Public Broadcasting. KOAC s former Portland satelites, KOAP-FM-TV, were renamed KOPB-AM-TV and became the flagship of the new organization.
