South Carolina ETV (SCETV) is the state's public educational broadcasting network, governed by the South Carolina Educational Television Commission, a state agency created in 1960. Its first telecast went out on September 8, 1958 from the library of Dreher High School in Columbia, teaching French and plane geometry to schools by closed circuit. Today the network comprises 11 television transmitters that cover almost all of South Carolina and reach into eastern Georgia and southern North Carolina, eight radio stations operating as South Carolina Public Radio, and a statewide tower network that serves schools, hospitals and emergency management teams. Headquarters are at 1041 George Rogers Boulevard in Columbia, with regional stations in Rock Hill, Spartanburg and Sumter.

SCETV is a PBS member and broadcasts four channels: ETV HD, the South Carolina Channel, ETV World and SCETV PBS Kids. South Carolina Public Radio began in 1972 as South Carolina Educational Radio with WEPR in Clemson. The network has produced national programs including Firing Line and NatureScene and continues to produce local news, public affairs and State House coverage. SCETV also delivers classroom content through Knowitall.org and PBS LearningMedia and provides teacher training and recertification.
