History [link]

WNSC-TV went on the air on January 3, 1978. It is a member of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and South Carolina Educational Television (SCETV). It was the sixth full-power SCETV station, and the third public TV station to serve the Charlotte area, after WTVI (channel 42) in Charlotte and UNC-TV's WUNG-TV (channel 58) in Concord, North Carolina. Previously, South Carolina ETV programming had been seen in the Rock Hill area via a low-power translator station on Channel 55 (which is now occupied by WMYT-TV). WNSC-TV completed its transition from analog to digital television on the original national transition date at midnight on February 18, 2009 (along with all other SCETV stations).

WNSC-TV originates some local programming, including Piedmont Politics, and also carries national and statewide programs from PBS and SCETV. Its digital subchannels carry the South Carolina Channel and ETV World.
