UNC-TV is a network of PBS member stations in North Carolina, with headquarters in Research Triangle Park. The station takes its name from the University of North Carolina and is owned by the UNC Center for Public Television.
The network creates many programs of local interest, including the newsmagazine North Carolina Now, the interview series North Carolina People (hosted by former UNC president William Friday), and special programs about the state's history and culture (often seen during the network's annual pledge drive). It also creates two programs for national distribution (The Woodwright's Shop and Lap Quilting). In addition to PBS programs, the station also runs British comedies on Saturday nights and EastEnders on Sunday nights.
It owns 11 transmitters that broadcast across the entire state, as well as into parts of Virginia and South Carolina, and four digital channels: UNC-KD (children's programs), UNC-HD (high-definition programming), UNC-NC (North Carolina public affairs and original local productions) and UNC-ED (educational television).
WUNC-TV in Chapel Hill, the network's flagship station, signed on January 8, 1955 as the first educational television station south of Washington, D.C. on Educational Independent. In 1962 The station became NET-TV Station. Matching funds allowed for the construction of a new station in Columbia in 1965 and six more stations came on air between 1967 and 1972. However, in 1970 5-8 Stations are submitted to PBS-TV. In the next 15 years, three more stations signed on and a system of translators in the mountains allowed the network to reach across the entire state & finally in 1996 The 12th & Last Station to signed on in North Carolina is WUNU-TV PBS 31.
It should be noted that Charlotte's WTVI and the Hampton Roads' WHRO-TV (which covers a portion of North Carolina) are not part of the UNC-TV network.
