WpbyWPBY is the flagship PBS television station in West Virginia. It is located in Huntington, West Virginia, although it identifies itself as WPBY Huntington-Charleston. Its studio is located on the Marshall University main campus. The station originated as WMUL copying the call letters of Marshall's student radio station, although the television station has never been a student-run operation. It began broadcasting in 1967. In 1980 the station, and the public station at West Virginia University, WWVU (now WNPB ) received new call letters to underline that the operations were managed by the state educational broadcasting authority, and not the university system. In 1992 the state completed a microwave link that permitted it to convert WNPB and the state's third PBS station, WSWP in Beckley, West Virginia to become de facto repeaters of WPBY. The station carries a basic PBS schedule, along with several programs of local production.
