Isn't there a PBS station in Evansville, WNIN/9? When did it
sign on?

According to Wikipedia, the first version of WNIN signed-on in 1970 under the ownership of the local school board, but went dark sometime in 1972 due to financial problems. The channel would re-launch the following year under new owners Southwest Indiana Public Television (now Tri-State Public Media).
