Nebraska Educational Telecommunications
Encyclopedia
Nebraska Educational Telecommunications (NET) is a state network
of non-commercial educational
public broadcasting
radio
and television
stations in Nebraska
and is based in Lincoln
. It is operated by the Nebraska Educational Telecommunications Commission. The television stations are all members of PBS, while the radio stations are members of NPR
.
The network is headquartered in the Terry M. Carpenter & Jack G. McBride Nebraska Educational Telecommunications Center in Lincoln, and has a satellite station (KYNE-TV) in Omaha
.
Nebraska was one of the first states in the nation to begin the groundwork for educational broadcasting. The University of Nebraska successfully applied to have channel 18 in Lincoln allocated for educational use in 1951.
In 1954, however, John Fetzer
, owner of KOLN-TV, offered to donate his station's old channel location on channel 12 (it had recently moved to channel 10) to NU. This allowed UNL to use more signal at less cost. UNL quickly jumped at this proposal, and KUON-TV went on the air on November 1 from KOLN-TV's studios. It was operated in trust for NU until 1956. In 1960, the Nebraska Council for Educational Television was created by six school districts in Nebraska. By 1961, 5 VHF and 3 UHF channels were allocated for educational use in Nebraska—the largest set ever approved for educational use in a single state. In 1963, the state legislature, per a committee's recommendation, approved plans for a statewide educational television
state network under the control of the Nebraska Educational Television Commission. A deal was quickly reached in which Lincoln's KUON-TV would remain under NU's ownership, but serve as the new state network's flagship.
In 1965, KLNE-TV in Lexington
became the first station in the new state network, followed a few months later by KYNE-TV in Omaha. The state network grew quickly; six stations signed on from 1966 to 1968 to complete the state network. It began a full seven-day schedule in 1969.
In 1975, NBC
unveiled a new logo that was identical to the Nebraska ETV logo, but for the blue coloring of the right trapezoid in the NBC logo. The commission sued NBC for trademark infringement, a suit which generated national attention. In an out-of-court settlement, NBC donated a color mobile unit and other equipment totaling over $800,000. NBC paid an additional $55,000 to reimburse the commission for the costs of eliminating the old logo from all advertising. Nebraska ETV's new logo was unveiled in 1976.

Since 1974, NET has operated a studio in Omaha, on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha. It is primarily used when KYNE breaks off from the state network to broadcast programming of specific interest to the Omaha market.
In autumn 2008, NET stations KUON, KMNE, KPNE, KRNE, and KTNE turned off their analog channels. Station KXNE turned off their analog channel in November 2008, and stations KHNE, KLNE, and KYNE turned off their analog channels on 2/17/2009 (the original digital TV cut-off date).

and moved it from 90.9 FM (where it had been since its sign-on in 1974) to 91.1. KUCV officially relaunched from its new studios on October 10, 1989.
In 1990, public radio stations opened in Alliance, Lexington, Columbus, Norfolk and Hastings. North Platte, Bassett, Merriman and Chadron followed in 1991. The entire Nebraska Public Radio Network (NPRN) was formally dedicated on October 8 in a special ceremony, broadcasted live on NPRN and NETV.
