WTVI is a PBS member station based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The station broadcasts on UHF channel 42 and ATSC digital channel 11. 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's license was transferred to the not-for-profit Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Broadcasting Authority, making the station community-owned.
In 2000, WTVI began digital broadcasting on VHF channel 11, and added 4 additional virtual channels, including one High-Definition channel. WTVI was the first, and to this day, the only, high-definition production television station in Charlotte.
WTVI-TV is aired on cable channel 5 in Charlotte,NC area systems. The current programming manager is Eric Davis.
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.
WTVI's digital channel is multiplexed:
- 42.1/11.1: Simulcast of WTVI standard-definition programming
- 42.2/11.2: WTVI-Gov: Public-affairs programming
- 42.3/11.3: WTVI-Create: Create, a high-definition instructional network
- 42.4/42.4: WTVI-Kids: PBS Kids
- 42.5/42.5: WTVI-HD: High-definition PBS programming
