Notes:
- 1. WRLK-TV's call letters refer to R. Lynn Kalmbach, SCETV's first executive director.
- 2. WNSC-TV (ETV Carolinas), WRJA-TV (ETV Sumter), and WRET-TV (ETV Upstate) are regional production facilities that occasionally break off from the main feed to air local programming. The other six transmitters are full-time relays of WRLK.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“The television critic, whatever his pretensions, does not labour in the same vineyard as those he criticizes; his grapes are all sour.”
—Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
“All television ever did was shrink the demand for ordinary movies. The demand for extraordinary movies increased. If any one thing is wrong with the movie industry today, it is the unrelenting effort to astonish.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
