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:
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“... there is no reason to confuse television news with journalism.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
