Interregional Program Service

Background
In 1980, the Eastern Educational Network launched its own syndicated service, which was called the Interregional Program Service. The first program under that name was U.S. Chronicle, but the service scored big when the service launched its national run of Nightly Business Report in 1981. It was renamed to "American Program Service" in 1992, and then "American Public Television" in 1999.
