UNC-TV is a network of PBS member stations in North Carolina with headquarters in Research Triangle Park. The station takes its name from the University of North Carolina and is owned by the UNC Center for Public Television. It owns 11 transmitters that broadcast across the entire state as well as into parts of Virginia, Tennessee and South Carolina. It also operates four digital channels: UNC-KD (children's programs), UNC-HD (high-definition programming), UNC-NC (North Carolina public affairs and original local productions) and UNC-ED (educational television).

The network creates many programs of local interest, including the newsmagazine North Carolina Now, the interview series North Carolina People (hosted by former UNC president William Friday), and special programs about the state's history and culture (often seen during the network's annual pledge drive). It also creates two programs for national distribution (The Woodwright's Shop and Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel). In addition to PBS programs, the station also runs British comedies on Saturday nights and EastEnders on Sunday nights.

Chapel Hill's WUNC-TV, the network's flagship station signed on January 8, 1955 as the first educational television station south of Washington, D.C.. In the next 12 years, three more stations signed on and a system of translators in the mountains allowed the network to reach across the entire state. The network's youngest station, WUNU in Lumberton, signed on in 1996.

It should be noted that Charlotte's WTVI and the Hampton Roads' WHRO-TV (which covers a portion of North Carolina) are not part of the UNC-TV network.

UNC-TV operates a number of translators across the mountains of western North Carolina. These translators serve as low-power, limited-area repeaters for the main transmitter, mainly targeting towns in deep mountain valleys where the parent signal is blocked by the surrounding terrain. UNC-TV's translators are:

• W59AD Andrews, NC
• W42AZ Bakersville, NC
• W05AU Bat Cave, NC (Chimney Rock)
• W52BA Black Mountain, NC
• W65DT Boone, NC
• W68DM Brevard, NC
• W46AX Bryson City, NC
• W67DV Burnsville, NC
• W27AB Canton, NC
• W24AU Cashiers, NC
• W23AF Cullowhee, NC
• W28AN Franklin, NC (Wine Springs)
• W60DA Franklin, NC (Cowee Bald)
• W42AT Hayesville, NC
• W27BD Highlands, NC
• W25AY Jefferson, NC
• W27AX Lake Lure, NC
• W43AU Marion, NC
• W31AN Murphy, NC
• W35AD Sparta, NC
• W28AO Spruce Pine, NC
• W19CR Tryon, NC
• W59AK Zionville, NC

UNC TV is available on cable television services throughout the state. It is also available in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia through Cox Communications and in the Greenville, SC area through Charter Communications.

The station carried on cable systems is not always the closest station. For example, Time Warner Cable (formerly Adelphia) in Laurinburg carries WUNJ of Wilmington, despite WUNU being closer in Lumberton.
