Mississippi was a relative latecomer to public broadcasting. One factor may have been that PBS and its predecessor, National Educational Television (NET), aired news and documentary programs very supportive of the Civil Rights Movement . Public television didn't arrive until 1970 , when WMAA-TV signed on from Jackson as the first PBS station in the state. Before then, the only portion of the state to get a clear signal from a PBS station was the northwest, much of which is part of the Memphis market. Six other stations signed on over the next few years, and the network became known as Mississippi Educational Television, or simply '''Mississippi ETV'''. Public radio was even later in arriving in the state, in 1984 . Eventually, Public Radio in Mississippi comprised eight stations across the state. In 2005 , MAET adopted "Missisippi Public Broadcasting" as the on-air name for its television and radio operations. MPB TELEVISION ''(xx/yy): xx = analog; yy = digital''
