NAEB Newsletter (December 1, 1965)

Educational Radio & TV Stations Two out of every three students in the nation’s schools and colleges are in areas covered by ETV programs, the USOE has announced. Following is a breakdown of numbers of educational stations per state— including radio as well as TV. These figures were compiled basically from the 1965 revision of the USOE’s list¬ ing of “Educational AM and FM Radio and Educational Television Stations by State and City.” However, the USOE in¬ cludes commercial stations that are educa¬ tionally owned and operated; it does not in¬ clude noncommercial stations operated by primarily religious institutions. The figures in the table were obtained by subtracting the commercial stations from the USOE list and bringing it up to date as of No¬ vember 1, 1965.
