THE IDAHO BROADCASTING
HISTORY & EDUCATION CENTER
Where the past meets the present!
We want to educate people on the vital role FREE
over-the-air broadcasting has ALWAYS played
and continues to play to this day. Especially Now!
This museum will document important history and will remind us of who we are & how far we have come.
…and perhaps show us some ways to make the future better!
——————————
Radio and TV continue to do SO MUCH for our State!
Here’s a way to recognize and honor the people who work VERY hard to make radio & TV happen,
24 hours a day, 365 days a year!
Broadcasting is over 100 years old in Idaho. This is important “history” we are preserving
and celebrating; the past, present & future.
