UNC-TV Adds Twelfth Full Power Transmitter, WUNW-TV, Canton/Waynesville

On Wednesday, July 21, 2010, at noon, UNC-TV powered on WUNW-TV, UNC-TV's 12th full power transmitter.  This latest transmitter marks the first station added to UNC-TV’s network since its addition of WUNU-TV Lumberton, channel 31, in 1996.

WUNW-TV, channel 27 is licensed to Canton, NC, and will be referenced as a dual city: WUNW-TV, Canton/Waynesville. With this addition, UNC-TV is now a twelve-station statewide public television network.

WUNW-TV will provide the first full power public television service to the towns of Canton, Waynesville, Clyde, Lake Junaluska and the surrounding areas. The site is located atop Chambers Mountain near Clyde, NC.

UNC-TV is North Carolina’s only statewide public television network, broadcasting four channels of programming, including UNC-EX, The Explorer Channel, UNC-KD, featuring all children's programs, and cable-only channel UNC-MX, an eclectic mix of public television content.
