For 60 years, Arkansas TV has served the state, informing, educating, inspiring and entertaining its viewers. Our roots dig into time in 1954 when the Arkansas Educational Television Association (AETA) was incorporated on June 4 as a voluntary organization to provide “non-profit and non-commercial educational television broadcast service to the state of Arkansas.”
