ThinkTV history
ThinkTV company history timeline
WMUB-TV served as the primary station for a year, until WOET-TV became the primary station in 1976.
The FCC formally reallocated the frequency as non-commercial September 14, 1977.
In 1977, the stations were transferred to a new community organization, Greater Dayton Public Television, and received their current callsigns, with WOET-TV becoming WPTD and WMUB-TV becoming WPTO.
The stations rebranded themselves as the ThinkTV Network in 1998, though the legal name remained Greater Dayton Public Television.
On October 31, 2008, Greater Dayton Public Television and the Greater Cincinnati Television Educational Foundation (CET), owner of WCET, announced plans to merge their resources into one non-profit organization serving all of Southwest Ohio, while maintaining separate identities.
The merger completed on May 8, 2009 with the formation of Public Media Connect, Inc.
The merger resulted in the July 2010 transfer of WCET's master control operations to ThinkTV's facilities in Dayton.
The ThinkTV channels and WCET were off the air (and not available through any other providers) from just after 4 p.m. on July 5 until 11:40 a.m. on July 9, 2019 due to the failure of a multiplexer in the master control power supply at ThinkTV in downtown Dayton.
