About ETV Carolinas
ETV Carolinas is South Carolina ETV’s regional facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina. ETV Carolinas is responsible for producing local content with the intent to educate. We work with the community to tell the stories that matter. At our facility, we have a fully-functioning TV studio and radio studio. York Technical College students regularly have access to these studios as a part of their coursework.
For two weeks each March, ETV Carolinas hosts the Rock Hill Elementary Science Bowl. The Science Bowl is a competition where students from elementary schools throughout Rock Hill compete in a quiz show to become crowned the Science Bowl champion. Locally, we also broadcast York County Council Meetings, Rock Hill School Board Meetings, and Applied Technology High school’s student-produced talk show called School Talk.
History of ETV Carolinas
ETV Carolinas first came to Rock Hill in the 1970’s. York Tech has always been a great partner of ETV, granting us studio space on campus. Our studio was originally on a different part of York Tech’s campus, with a staff consisting of 21 employees. In 2003, ETV Carolinas moved to its current location, in building ST, with significant help from York Tech.
The purpose of ETV regional facilities has always been to serve the local communities. Our intent is to produce programs that fill a local need but will eventually air statewide. We have accomplished this with programs like Mary Long’s Yesteryear, Club Que Pasa, and The Zone. The Zone was significant in ETV Carolina’s history, winning the network’s first Emmy since 1969.
Today, ETV Carolinas remains full-functioning, creating content like the SCETV Digital Series, Made Here, which explores small businesses in South Carolina.
Student Reporting Labs
ETV Carolinas also serves as a PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Lab mentor. Student Reporting Labs is building the next generation of public media by implementing a digital journalism curriculum in high schools across the country. Local PBS station mentors help the students with creative and technical aspects of production so that the students’ work can effectively be told to the world.
