the clark county school trustees proposed a state network of educational television stations offering television programming originating in las vegas . the proposal was vigorously opposed by educators in other communities and in 1966 the school trustees gave up the proposal of a statewide service . the trustees then sought and received federal communications commission approval to construct a single educational station in las vegas . klvx first signed on the air as nevada s first educational station on march 25 1968 . the state would not receive another educational station until reno s knpb signed on in 1983 . channel 10 originally operated from two converted classrooms located at the southern nevada vocational technical center in las vegas . students were involved in all engineering and production operations as part of a vocational training program of the school district . in september 1968 the station activated four instructional television fixed service itfs channels which offered live instructional television programs produced by the station covering foreign language math and fine arts . between 1978 and 1996 sixteen other itfs channels were activated to provide 67 000 hours a year of instructional television programming career professional development college courses and staff orientations serving schools in the communities of las vegas henderson north las vegas boulder city and pahrump . in 1971 charlotte hill convened a group of community leaders who eventually founded channel 10 friends a 501 c 3 non profit corporation established to raise private support for klvx s non instructional programs and encourage community viewing of channel 10 . the organization renamed itself southern nevada public television in 2002 when the group assumed leadership of a 64 million campaign to fund digital television conversion and a new building for the station s studio facilities . expansion of klvx s viewing area continued through the 1970s and 1980s throughout clark lincoln nye and white pine counties with construction of a network of 19 translator stations that repeat klvx s programming for viewers in a four state 38 000 square mile 98 000 km2 service area . some translators are operated by the station but others are operated by counties or rural translator districts that rely on voluntary support . in 1976 ccsd school superintendent and future nevada governor kenny guinn proposed that a new building be constructed to house klvx s operations . the proposal was adopted by the school trustees and the murray peterson public television center was dedicated in 1978 . the new facility was located at 4210 channel 10 drive on 10 acres 40 000 m2 of desert land sold by the bureau of land management for 1 200 at the eastern edge of urban development . the facility was designed for 35 employees and student vocational training using state of the art film production and development processes . in 2004 klvx became the first station in the united states to demonstrate what digital television has to offer in times of emergency . that demonstration and the follow on technology led to the digital emergency alert system deas . during 2007 using 1.2 million klvx installed equipment to broadcast deas data including the ability to do so for up to seven days without external power . the grant also covers the installation of digital television data receivers in 120 clark county school district police department vehicles . 1 in september 2006 klvx rebranded as vegas pbs to reflect its current multiple channel offerings and diversified multimedia services provided to the las vegas metropolitan area and statewide schools in addition to its regular programming on its main channel . in 2009 klvx moved its operations from
