CTL | Cable TV

CTL programs cable channels 15 and 16 in an effort to promote academic synergy on campus and to distribute quality programming to the Athens community. These channels represent one portion of the larger campus Cablevision system.

(For Cablevision questions, including problems with cable modems in the dorms, call EITS at 542-3333 for assistance.)

The purpose and mission of the University Channel is to (1) Provide University educational and informational resources to a diverse community of faculty, staff and students off campus, (2) Provide continuing education opportunities to a diverse community of adult learners, (3) Extend the educational opportunities of the University via a distance learning channel, (4) Inform Athens-area public of University activities and insure a close relationship between city/county and University.

CTL also provides a special teleconference channel on University Cablevision (Channel 16) available anywhere on campus where there is a cable connection. For satellite teleconference downlink and distribution requests through CTL, call 542-1582 with the appropriate information.
