This draft was previously submitted for review and declined by Logoarto (talk | contribs) The given reason is: Some descriptions are too simple (please describe how the logo looks like, not just "the Iowa PBS logo appears"), missing image captures, tabbers, availability tables, external links/references You may continue working on the draft to fix the above issues. If the issues are not fixed, the draft may be declined again. Last edited by SquidBoxer (talk | contribs) 2 months ago. (Update) |
Iowa PBS (formerly Iowa Public Television, Iowa Educational Broadcasting Network and Iowa Public Broadcasting Network) is the statewide PBS member network serving Iowa with nine stations. It began as KDIN-TV on April 27th, 1959. On February 8th, 1970, with the launch of KIIN-TV, it became the Iowa Educational Broadcasting Network (IEBN). Later, in 1976, it became the Iowa Public Broadcasting Network (IPBN). In 1982, it became Iowa Public Television (IPTV). Recently, on January 1st, 2020, coinciding with the PBS rebrand, the network's name changed to Iowa PBS.
