The Georgia Tech Cable Network (GTCN) is the on-campus television provider of the

Atlanta, Georgia. Established in 1995,[1] GTCN serves the on-campus buildings, especially Georgia Tech Housing.[2]

Content

They have a 123-channel lineup,[3] 24 of which are HD, and two of which (channels 20 and 21) they generate content for themselves.[3] In particular, they have a show called "Ramblin' Research" that shows professors' research and personal interests.[4] In addition, they show many recent movies.[5][6] The network is also part of the Georgia Tech emergency notification system.[7]

Dish Network provides most of GTCN's non-original programming.[8] The service also rebroadcasts several Atlanta-area high-definition channels.[9] The source of this high-definition content is not Dish Network; it is instead taken directly from local over-the-air broadcasts. GTCN also has one of the widest selections of international channels of cable networks in the United States.[10][11]

History

The Georgia Tech Cable Network was initially established in 1995, and had 54 channels.[12] There was an interactive show called TutorVision, where Georgia Tech students called in questions to be worked live on TV.[13] Other past shows include Tech Shorts and Dr. Staff, humor shows about life at Georgia Tech.[14][15]

GTCN used to broadcast

WREK-FM would allow for the creation of three more HD channels on the network.[16]

This service was sunset in Fall of 2022. [17]
