WQED (TV)

'WQED' (channel 13, digital channel 38) is a PBS television station based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Established April 1, 1954, it was the first community-sponsored television station in the United States as well as the fifth public TV station. WQED also became the first station to telecast classes to elementary classrooms when Pittsburgh launched the Metropolitan School Service in 1955. WQED has produced many shows for PBS, such as ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'' (which aired first run episodes from February 19, 1968 to August 31, 2001) and ''Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?''.
