. However, it was a relative latecomer to educational television, at least compared to other Midwestern states. WOI-TV in Ames
had signed on in 1950 as a sister station to WOI radio, and had carried some National Educational Television
programming until Des Moines Public Schools
signed on KDPS-TV as the educational station for central Iowa. However, the only other areas of the state with a clear signal from an educational station were the southwest (from Nebraska ETV
's KYNE-TV in Omaha
) and the northwest (from South Dakota ETV
's KUSD-TV in Vermillion
).
In 1969, the state of Iowa bought KDPS-TV from the Des Moines Public Schools and changed its calls to KDIN-TV, intending it to be the linchpin of a statewide educational television network. As part of the state's ambition, it rebranded KDIN as the Iowa Educational Broadcasting Network.
KIIN-TV in Iowa City, serving most of eastern Iowa, became the network's second affiliate in 1970. By 1977 the newly-renamed Iowa Public Broadcasting Network had eight full-power stations. The Iowa Public Television name was adopted in 1982. In 2003, it purchased KQCT-TV in Davenport, which repeated the programming of Quad Cities
PBS station WQPT-TV
in the Iowa side of the Quad Cities. The calls were changed to KQIN.
IPTV was originally run by the state's General Services Department before then-Gov. Terry E. Branstad
signed a bill creating the Iowa Public Broadcasting Board on May 16, 1983. In 1986 IPTV became part of the state's Cultural Affairs Department, and on July 1, 1992, IPTV became part of the Iowa Department of Education.
