WPBY was the first public television station in West Virginia. It signed on July 14, 1969 under the callsign WMUL.

In 1980 WMUL and the public station at West Virginia University, WWVU (now WNPB) received new call letters to underline that the operations were managed by the state educational broadcasting authority, and not the university system.

In 1992 the state completed a microwave link that permitted a statewide broadcast with WSWP in Beckley being the Network Operations Center for the state. The state network has a total of eight low-powered repeaters serving other areas out of the range of the three full-powered stations, most notably Wheeling and Parkersburg.
