History
The SFA Public Broadcasting Corporation was started in 1979, with the intent to start a non-commercial educational television station in. Previously, much of the area received PBS programming on cable via either member station  (channel 13) or  member station  (channel 16).

Flagship station KNGD was the first in the network to sign on, debuting November 11, 1983. To better serve the northern half of the market, KTYL signed-on May 4, 1993. However, KTYL's transmitter is located about 38 miles (61 km) south of other stations in the northern half of the Tyler–Longview–Lufkin–Nacogdoches market, and its digital signal cannot reach Jacksonville. So, in 2009, former Univision affiliate KUTX was bought at auction from by Austin Broadcasting I L.P. (a for-profit shell corporation of the university) and concurrently donated to East Texas PBS. It joined the system upon signing-on again as KJAX-TV on March 23, 2010. KJAX-TV's digital signal reaches Jacksonville, thus giving the network coverage in that region, although there is significant overlap between KTYL and KJAX-TV's contours otherwise.
