National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB): Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

The National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB) began as the Association of College University Broadcasting Stations (ACUBS). In 1938, NAEB persuaded the Federal Communications Commission to reserve five radio channels for educational broadcasting. NAEB merged with the Association of Education by Radio-Television in 1956. It reorganized in 1963 with new divisions Educational Television Stations and National Educational Radio. These divisions lasted until 1973. Until it folded in 1981, NAEB was public broadcasting's primary voice, forum and program distributor.
