KEET also has fulltime staffers, such as Ron Schoenherr and Amanda Tobin Schleef, to organize and direct the fund rasing activities. The current studio was built in 1975 and is no longer adequate for KEETs expanding community televison role. Anyone got a nice spare building to donate?? |
KEET started in 1969, before there was a PBS. Early network programs came from National Educational Television, relayed from Sacramento and Redding by microwave relays.
