History
WKYU-TV signed on for the first time on January 15, 1989. It was the second PBS member in Kentucky that was not aligned with Kentucky Educational Television (which has operated a repeater in Bowling Green, WKGB-TV channel 53 (digital channel 48), since 1968); the first was Louisville's WKPC-TV. KET acquired WKPC in 1998. It is one of the smallest standalone stations in the PBS system.
WKYU-TV occasionally airs Western Kentucky Hilltoppers basketball games that don't appear on regular regional or national commercial sports networks...
