The Commission originally was created in 1966
as the Maryland Educational-Cultural Television
Commission (Chapter 202, Acts of 1966). In 1967
its functions expanded and it was renamed the
Maryland Educational-Cultural Broadcasting
Commission (Chapter 645, Acts of 1967). In 1969
it became the Maryland Public Broadcasting
Commission (Chapter 405, Acts of 1969). The
Commission was created to develop, operate, and
maintain a system of State, regional, and local fa-
cilities to provide educational and cultural televi-
sion and radio programming throughout Mary-
land.

The Commission consists of eleven members
appointed by the Governor for five-year terms.
The Governor designates the chairperson and the
vice-chairperson. One member must be the State
Superintendent of Schools. Two other members
are designated by the State Board of Education.
Members are chosen because of their interest in
public education, libraries, art, music, drama,
higher education, the television and radio indus-
tries, or other categories to be chosen by the
Governor to bring special competence to the
Commission's membership (Code Education Arti-
cle, sec. 24-201 through 24-206).
