OPB consists of six Television stations, dozens of VHF or UHF translators, and over 20 Radio Stations and frequencies. Broadcasts include local programming as well as programs from PBS , National Public Radio , Public Radio International , and the BBC World Service . Since 2003, OPB has received no funds from Oregon state government, despite its costly efforts to broadcast its signal to distant, rural parts of the state. It is the only public broadcasting network without any state taxpayer's subsidy. HISTORY OPB traces its roots to 1922 , when KFDJ-AM signed on from the Corvallis campus of Oregon Agricultural College . It became KOAC-AM in 1927 . KOAC-TV began operation in 1957 . KOAC-AM-TV soon became the flagship for a large network of radio and television stations, which became known as the Oregon Educational and Public Broadcasting Service (OEPBS) in 1971 . In 1981 , OEPBS was spun off from the Oregon State System of Higher Education and renamed Oregon Public Broadcasting. KOAC's former Portland satelites, KOAP-FM-TV, were renamed KOPB-AM-TV and became the flagship of the new organization. TELEVISION STATIONS
