With the Ford Foundation grant forcing NET to drop its affiliation fee, public stations began to organize. Educational Television Stations was formed in February 1964 as a division of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters as the representative of the public stations in Washington, DC. The ETS's initial leadership consisted of board chair Robert Schenkkan, general manager of KRLN and executive consultant C. Scott Fletcher, the former president of the Fund for Adult Education of the Ford Foundation.[5]
The ETS held a national conference lead by its executive consultant to review a U.S. Office of Education study on public station funding. Recommended delegation from each station was the general manager and a board member. Delegates argued on requesting some form of help from the president either a White House Conference or a Presidential Commission to formula a national policy with the Presidential Commission was the final selection. The July 1965 request was rejected by President Johnson as their were too many commission at the time, but he would support a privately funded commission. The Carnegie Corporation agreed to fund such a commission, the Carnegie Commission on Educational Television (later called Carnegie I). While making recommendation on a host of public television issue, the commission recommended federal funding for public TV stations.[5]
ETS was transferred to PBS. With the Public Telecommunications Financing Act of 1978 and the second Carnegie Commission, both attempt to force reform of the public TV sector, but failed. Three plans were generated between PBS and its stations. Thus ETS was formed as a separated organization,[5] as the National Association of Public Television Stations, in 1980. Later the association was renamed America's Public Television Stations then Association of Public Television Stations.[6]
