In 1956 OETA began with one transmitting station, little money, limited broadcast hours and a small and an almost immeasurable audience. Today, with OETA's statewide network of four transmitting stations and 14 translator stations, more than 650,000 viewers tune into OETA on a weekly basis. OETA is America's most-watched Public Broadcasting Service network. OETA is licensed to the state of Oklahoma and operates as a public/private partnership. OETA is supported by both public and private funds. State funds provide for some of OETA's operational expenses including helping to fund OETA’s extensive statewide network. OETA is responsible for maintaining the state’s infrastructure for the PBS Warning, Alert and Response Network (WARN) system, which provides a path between the Federal Emergency Management Agency and cellular service providers to relay important emergency information statewide via cellular networks.
