About LPB
Louisiana Public Broadcasting is a state network of six non-commercial television stations licensed to the Louisiana Educational Television Authority (LETA), established in 1971 by the Louisiana Legislature.
The date of September 6, 1975 probably doesn’t mean much to you, but here at Louisiana Public Broadcasting it marked the culmination of three years of planning and hard work. At 11:58 on that morning, WLPB-TV signed on in Baton Rouge as the flagship of what was then the newest public television state network.
For LSU Professor and Educational Television activist Lucille Woodard, the move to get educational television in the state was almost a crusade. She began pushing for educational television in Louisiana in the early 1950s and even got Governor Robert Kennon to create a short-lived Educational Television Commission during his term. After decades of frustrated efforts to bring public television to the entire state of Louisiana, the Television Authority in 1971 approved the money needed to start the state network. After almost three years of preparations led by Executive Director Max Fetty, Mrs. Woodard had the honor of flipping the switch on September 6, 1975 to let Baton Rouge viewers get their first glimpse of Mr. Rogers and the people on The Electric Company.
