The first licensed public television station in the United States, WCET began broadcasting on July 26, 1954, from Music Hall in Cincinnati. In 1976, the station moved to its present location at the Crosley Telecommunications Center on Central Parkway, which it now shares with the market's two main public radio stations, WVXU and WGUC-FM.^[1] In September 2003, the station rebranded itself as CET; it was previously known as Channel 48 and WCET48.
