Abstract:

North Carolina’s Public Television could be one of the best given the state’s wealth, investment in education, and protection from one of the South’s leading universities – but it isn’t. The reasons why the University of North Carolina will not commit to making the TV station one of the best is explored. Programming is currently expanding and the station recently won several awards. However, outdated technology, low funding, and low ambition from UNC suggest the situation won’t change anytime soon.
