History
WPBT originally signed on August 12, 1955 as WTHS-TV (meaning Worlds To Hear and See, licensed to the Dade County Board of Public Instruction).[1] During the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the Community TV Foundation shared channel 2 with the DCBPI. The School Board would broadcast educational programming for five hours in the daytime, then the CTF would broadcast two hours of programming in the evenings. This arrangement would continue until the late 1970s, when the Dade County School Board turned over the license to WTHS to the CTF. The CTF then changed the call letters to WPBT.
