WIPR-TV is a non-commercial educational, full-power public television station located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, transmitting over analog channel 6, digital 43. The station is owned and operated by ''Corporación de Puerto Rico para la Difusión Pública'' (English: Puerto Rico Corporation for Public Broadcasting). Most of its television shows on the main channel are local programming. Because of its audience, much of WIPR's programming is in Spanish, as with most Puerto Rico television stations. The station is branded as ''WIPR Television''. Previously, the station was branded as ''Teve 6 / Teve 3'', ''TUTV - Tu Universo Televisión'' and ''Puerto Rico TV. WIPR-TV operates a semi-satellite on the island's west coast, WIPM-TV, channel 3 in Mayagüez. WIPM-TV largely repeats WIPR, but does produce some local programming. WIPM-TV transmits its digital signal on channel 35, virtual 3. ==History== WIPR-TV was created as a result of lobbying for public broadcasting in Puerto Rico, beginning in the 1950s. The station went on the air for the first time on Three Kings Day (January 6), 1958 becoming the first educational television station in Latin America, and the facilities (the building) was dedicated to Ramón Rivero (Diplo), the most important and influential actor/comedian in the history of Puerto Rico. It was also unique among other government-controlled broadcasters in the Caribbean as it did not show commercials. All other government-controlled broadcasters (with the exception of Cuba and the US Virgin Islands) showed advertising. The station was one of the few TV stations in Puerto Rico with English-language programming, via a membership with PBS that allowed them to carry PBS Kids in english. This ended on July 1, 2011 after WIPR and PBS failed to reach an agreement to renew the station's membership, with money previously allocated to PBS membership dues being invested in the station's local programming. PBS programming remains available on Puerto Rico via WMTJ. In 1996, WIPR-TV was the first Puerto Rican television station that used streaming media to broadcast programming to the internet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WIPR-TV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
