Programming Firsts
- WYBE's predecessor, WUHY-TV, was the first station in the world to show Sesame Street, in a week of test broadcasts in July 1969. A slightly-retooled version of the show had its national premiere on National Educational Television (NET) four months later, in November 1969.
- WYBE was also first to air Australian drama, Water Rats, the Australian children's series, The Shapies and the Irish drama, Ros na Rún.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
