[edit] History
KBEV, originally called "Information Retrieval", was started in 1968 in a bungalow on the front lawn. An early form of programming-on-demand, audio and video content was transmitted over cables wired to the high school library and to select classrooms at the high school. Audio programs played on reel to reel tape were sent the the elementary schools over telephone lines, rented from the phone company, to study carrels in the libraries at each of the schools. KBEV began active cable operations in 1974 with Theta Cable, which became Group W, then Century Cable, then Adelphia Cable, and now Time Warner Cable. KBEV's channel designation began as Channel L. It later became Channel N, then Channel E, then Channel 26, and now it is Channel 6 KBEV and Channel 36 KBHS. Channel 36 has been used to carry the ARTS Channel which originates from Burbank. The Media Center has provided continuous cable programming to the Beverly Hills community for 32 years. As of the MorTorq TV episode for May 29, 2008, KBEV is up to program number 8,2447.
