History
ULB-TV was founded in 1988 after Massachusetts school teacher Lauren Hiaasen visited Seahaus and was inspired to launch an educational TV station there.

At first, due to FCC rules against American networks transmitting their signals to stations located outside the United States, PBS programming was received via C-Band satellite and recorded onto RLV LaserDiscs (and later videotape) at the media center and then physically transported to the studios in Laverne Town, a practice known in the television industry as "bicycling". Despite circumventing ULB's inability to use the PBS national feed, this sometimes meant that viewers would have to wait up to three weeks to see some of PBS' offerings. This also meant that ULB-TV was unable to carry most live events including congressional hearings and A Capitol Fourth.

By 1995, ULB-TV was broadcasting a full schedule of PBS and programs. Programs either were taped on Betacam tapes at Worcester State University and then "bicycled" to Laverne Town for transmission or were broadcast using master tapes sent in by PBS, APS or other PBS member stations.

Programming
ULB-TV has been known to clear most PBS programming, however sometimes programming has either been self-censored or not aired at all due to El Kadsreian censorship laws.
