most (but, by no means, all) public television stations are members of pbs, sharing programs such as "sesame street", "nova" and "masterpiece theatre". although many pbs stations operate individually, a number of states – such as wisconsin, maryland, minnesota, oklahoma and south carolina – have state-owned public broadcasting authorities that operate and fund all public television stations in their respective states. the alabama educational television commission, licensee for the nine stations comprising alabama public television, was established by the alabama legislature in 1953. in january 1955, wciq on mount cheaha began operation as the nation's ninth non-commercial television station. four months later in april 1955 with the sign-on of wbiq in birmingham, alabama became the first state in the country with an educational television network. alabama public television was a model for other states in the nation and for television broadcasters in other countries. 25 other states copied alabama's system of operation to provide service through multiple, linked television stations, using full-power satellite stations and (in some cases) low-power translators to relay the originating station's programming to other areas. similar state networks have also been created by commercial broadcasters to relay network programming throughout portions or even the entirety of a state.
