KERA Ident / Timeline 1984 - 2008
KERA-TV virtual channel 13 is the Public Broadcasting Service member station in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Licensed to Dallas, it broadcasts from a transmitter located in Cedar Hill. However, it also serves as the default PBS station for the Abilene, San Angelo, Tyler/Longview/Lufkin/Nacogdoches markets, as well as the Texas side of the Sherman, Texas/Ada, Oklahoma market. None of these areas have full-power PBS stations. It is also available on cable in Hillsboro and Texarkana. Until 1988, KERA could be seen on cable in Amarillo, as that market had no PBS station before the launch there of KACV. The station's programming can also be seen on K44GS-D in Wichita Falls; this repeater provides PBS programming to the Texas side of the Wichita Falls/Lawton market. Since 2003, it has also broadcast a digital signal on channel 14. 1984 - TURN TO THE BEST, TURN TO 13 1987 - KERA Dallas Fort Worth Denton 1989 - 13 (falling square-parts) 1990 - 13 (3D 13) 1995 - TV Worth Watching 2008 - KERA © KERA-TV.
