PBS North Carolina
University of North Carolina Television, known on-air as UNC-TV, is a public television network in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It is operated by the University of North Carolina, with studios located at the UNC Center for Public Television at Research Triangle Park. The state network includes all Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member stations licensed within North Carolina except for WTVI in Charlotte, which is owned by Central Piedmont Community College.
It also formerly operated 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). Consumers with Time Warner Cable, the largest cable provider in the state, are the only ones capable of receiving all of these digital subchannels. Time Warner has a direct-fiber optic connection to UNC-TV's studios.
On September 25, 2008, UNC-TV commenced a revised lineup of three digital subchannels via over-the-air broadcast television: UNC-TV (the main channel now operating as a full-time HD service), UNC-KD in SD, and UNC-EX ("The Explorer Channel") in SD. Time Warner Cable customers also receive UNC-MX ("an eclectic mix of programming for adults") in SD. UNC-TV HD and UNC-EX are also available to DirecTV customers with MPEG4-compatible receivers.

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or carolina:
“We should declare war on North Vietnam.... We could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
