WNSC-TV and WNSC-FM (88.9) are public broadcasting stations in Rock Hill, South Carolina. WNSC-TV's analog signal is on channel 30 and its digital signal is on channel 15. WNSC-TV is carried on cable channel 15 throughout most of the Charlotte, North Carolina, television market. The stations' studios are on the campus of York Technical College, and their transmitting tower is five miles south of Rock Hill (at 34° 50' 23.00" North Latitude, 81° 01' 6.00" West Longitude).
WNSC-TV went on the air on January 3, 1978. It is a member of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and South Carolina Educational Television (SCETV). It was the sixth full-power SCETV station, and the third public TV station to serve the Charlotte area, after WTVI (channel 42) in Charlotte and WUNG-TV (channel 58) in Concord, NC. Previously, South Carolina ETV programming had been seen in the Rock Hill area via a low-power translator station on Channel 55 (which is now occupied by WMYT-TV).
WNSC-TV originates some local programming, including Piedmont Politics, and also carries national and statewide programs from PBS and SCETV. Its secondary channels carry the South Carolina Channel (an auxiliary service of SCETV) and ETV-HD.
WNSC-FM signed on in 1979, and was originally known as WPRV. It is a member of National Public Radio, but primarily carries the "Carolinas' Jazz" programming format, which it adopted in 2001 to avoid program overlap with WFAE (90.7), the NPR station in Charlotte.
