Connecting South Carolina
ETV’s reach in South Carolina goes well beyond Radio and TV. ETV supports education, promotes transparency, partners with public safety, connects citizens, and improves the quality of life and job readiness for the state.

Overview
Through the vision of the General Assembly, a concurrent resolution was passed in 1957, calling for a study of television use in public schools, and over 50 years later, education is still at the core of South Carolina ETV.
South Carolina ETV is the State’s public educational broadcasting network, delivered through Television, Radio and the Web. It also includes a multi-media educational system reaching more than 2500 schools, colleges, businesses, and government agencies. ETV’s mission is to enrich lives by educating children and adults, informing and connecting citizens, while fostering economic growth, and celebrating our culture and environment.
