UCTV

The Electronic Media Communications Department runs a television channel broadcast from our campus in Blue Ash on the in the 2.5 GHz Educational Broadband Service (EBS) portion of the broadcast spectrum. EBS, formerly known as Instructional Television Fixed Service (ITFS), is reserved for non-commercial, educational use. At RWC, we operate two EBS channels called "UCTV," programming a mix of general and public service programming, along with telecourses, videoconferences and other types of distance learning.

Our TV programming is sent via microwave from RWC to a 900-foot tall tower on North Bend Road, and from there it broadcasts in all directions. Depending on obstructions, the signal can reach as far as 20-30 miles. Receiving equipment at cable access centers throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky then relays our programming into the homes of thousands of cable TV subscribers.

In keeping with the UC|21 goals of "forging key relationships and partnerships" and "Community Connections," our channels are used as a student lab for media production and broadcast operations to showcase eMedia student work, provide employment opportunities and internships for students, and to reach potential students by promoting college activities and programs, televising on-campus events, presenting profiles of academic program opportunities and course offerings, and offering both credit and non-credit continuing education, campus outreach, distance learning, corporate training, and lifelong learning.
