We’re head down south in Miami, Florida to cover WPBT Channel 2, now known as South Florida PBS along with it’s sister station WXEL channel 42 in West Palm Beach.
Background, The Community Television Foundation of South Florida was formed in November 1953. It immediately jumped into the bidding for Florida's first non-commercial educational television station. The only major competition came from the Dade County School Board. Ultimately, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) awarded licenses to both groups in a time-share arrangement. They signed on channel 2 as a shared operation on August 12, 1955, operating as a member station of National Educational Television (NET) under the call letters WTHS-TV.
In 2010, WPBT rebranded as "2 HD" along with its children's program block KidVision.
In early 2017, WPBT and WXEL have merged and rebranded themselves as South Florida PBS.
So here’s the compilation of WPBT2 South Florida PBS Station Identifications from 1975 onward.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!!!
