This timeline, now under reconstruction, skims through the history of public broadcasting, with added events about the development of other public media.

Your suggestions are welcome, especially if you provide documentation! Write to web@current.org.

The timeline supplements Current‘s concise history of the field, A History of Public Broadcasting, now out of print but planned for revision in 2012.

Thanks to the Simile Project associated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the open-source timeline mechanism and to our site designers at Aardvark Brigade for implementing it.
