WCET, the first licensed public television station in the United
States, is the PBS member public television station serving the
Cincinnati, Ohio area.
In April 1951, Cincinnati Mayor Albert D. Cash received a letter from

Channel 48 to Cincinnati for educational broadcasting purposes.
The mayor appointed a committee to organize the Greater Cincinnati
Television Educational Foundation. In March 1953, The Greater
Cincinnati Television Educational Foundation was granted a
non-profit corporate charter.
WCET began broadcasting on July 26, 1954, from Music Hall in
Cincinnati. In 1976, the station moved to its present location at the
Crosley Telecommunications Center on Central Parkway. Once
simply known as "Channel 48" and later as WCET48, the station
rebranded itself as CET in 2003. CET is also the first public
television station to offer a community-based public media
on-demand service, CETconnect.org.
