Title

UNC-TV ONLINE, North Carolina's State-Wide Television Network

Description

Television has the power to change lives. Public television has the responsibility to change lives for the better: a child far from urban resources is inspired to become a scientist, a high school dropout earns a GED, a homebound senior remains connected to the world of the arts and culture, the family of an Alzheimer's patient find strength and support. UNC-TV's unique programs and services provide people of all ages with enriching, life-changing television.

UNC-TV's digital technology enhances our ability to share knowledge that enriches the mind and creativity that inspires the spirit. We will enable North Carolinians to learn from original content that is distinct, essential, and culturally diverse. We will be a catalyst to effect change and address the critical needs of North Carolinians by uniting with partners to solve educational and social problems. We thereby will make a difference in people's lives and improve the quality of life in our state. The power of these partnerships will create better-informed, better-educated, and more prosperous people. Our unique, easily accessible programs and services will be used and treasured by citizens, educational institutions, public service organizations, and state government for helping them achieve their goals. Our realized vision will demonstrate that through UNC-TV, knowledge translates into economic, social, cultural, and historical value.

Today, UNC-TV is an 11-station network licensed to the University of North Carolina that provides statewide analog and digital television service. Funding for UNC-TV’s conversion to digital broadcasting technology, as mandated by the Federal Communications Commission, resulted from voter passage of the Higher Education Improvement Bond referendum passed by North Carolina voters in November 2000, allowing UNC-TV to have all 11 stations broadcasting both analog and digital signals by 2003.
