WTVI
Encyclopedia : W : WT : WTV : WTVI
WTVI is a PBS member station based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The station broadcasts on UHF channel 42. It is the only public television station in North Carolina that's not operated by UNC-TV, and one of three serving Charlotte (UNC-TV's WUNG and SCETV's WNSC-TV are the others). The only other PBS station between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta that's not part of a statewide network is Hampton Roads' WHRO-TV.
The station first signed on June 20, 1965; at first, it was owned by the local board of education. WTVI's original station manager was Donna Lee Davenport, who was also instrumental in creating the station. In 1982, WTVI was sold to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Broadcasting Authority, making the station community-owned.
The call letters were first used by a station broadcasting on UHF channel 54 in St. Louis, Missouri in the early 1950s, eventually becoming KTVI channel 2.
