UNC-TV is the PBS affiliate network in North Carolina, with headquarters in Research Triangle Park. The station takes its name from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is owned by the UNC Center for Public Television.

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 in 1955 as the first educational television station south of Washington, D.C. Matching funds allowed for the construction of a new station in Columbia in 1965, and six more stations came onair between 1967 and 1972. 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.
