 Public
Television Station KTNW, Channel 31, Richland, Washington is licensed to
Washington State University. The studio is located on the WSU Tri-Cities campus
in Richland, Washington and its transmitter is located on Jump Off Joe Butte,
seven miles south of Kennewick, Washington. KTNW provides a full-service Public
Broadcasting Service (PBS) program schedule to residents of the Columbia Basin
region. Translator station, K05JG, rebroadcasts KTNW to the communities of
Vantage and Beverly, Washington, on Channel 5. Both stations are carried on
numerous cable systems.
The potential television audience of KTNW doubled when WSU added KTNW Channel 31
to its license in October, 1987. NWPTV in the Tri-Cities was established by
local community support matched by a US Department of Commerce equipment grant.
The services now known as Northwest Public Television provide a regional source
of information, arts, culture and public affairs programming to enhance the
quality of life in the communities served.
KTNW offices are located in the Murrow Center, Room 382, Pullman, WA.
KTNW can be reached via mail at PO 642530, Pullman, WA, 99164-2530.
