Our Story

Our Mission

 The primary purpose of WUTV is to serve as an instructional/experiential learning laboratory to UWG’s School of Communication, Film, and Media (SCFM). SCFM majors are trained on state-of-the-art equipment through courses and as volunteers. The station also provides quality educational, informational and entertaining programming to the University of West Georgia and the Carroll County community.  

About WUTV

Our History

 


WUTV, originally Cable 13, was founded in the early 1970s by Jerry Mock, David Chapman, Jim Herts, and others as part of the University of West Georgia’s College of Education. What began as a small, under-equipped studio quickly grew into a central hub for campus media and hands-on learning.

Our Team

The station expanded through a partnership with the local cable provider, securing Channel 13 and airing student-produced content, sports, and community programming. It later became part of the Mass Communications Department, supporting television production education.

Following the FCC’s 2009 digital mandate, the station transitioned from analog to digital and was rebranded as WUTV in 2014.

Today

Today, WUTV serves as a 24-hour, student-run television station and experiential learning lab, providing real-world production experience while serving the UWG and Carroll County communities.
