About WTIU
Signing on the air on March 3, 1969, WTIU is the public television station licensed to Indiana University, operating out of the Radio and TV Center on the Bloomington, Indiana campus. The station serves over 20 counties in central Indiana, including the cities of Bloomington, Bedford, Columbus, and Terre Haute, and the communities of Martinsville, Linton, Bloomfield, Nashville, Spencer, and Seymour. Approximately 430,000 TV households are included in the viewing area, cable, satellite, broadband and over-the-air combined.
Over 100 Indiana University students, from IU’s Department of Telecommunications, School of Journalism, and many other disciplines, complement their academic training and develop marketable skills through real-world experience gained by working alongside the station’s staff.
WTIU’s broadcast schedule combines the full national schedule of PBS programs with additional locally-selected series and programs. This includes series like Antiques Roadshow, NOVA, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Masterpiece, Mystery!, and The American Experience. Our children’s programming has well-known shows like Sesame Street, Curious George and Arthur. The PBS lineup also includes many how-to series like This Old House, New Yankee Workshop and The Victory Garden.
Locally-produced programs include daily news breaks and a weekly magazine program covering local people, places, and events, The Weekly Special. The Friday Zone, WTIU’s own weekly Emmy Award-winning children’s program, features activities and guests including performance and visual artists, and scientists. There are a number of programs currently in production.
