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, Georgia Tech's student-run radio station, on channel 17 from 2003 to early 2009. According to then general manager, Trey Rhodes, the station was “never really notified about [GTCN taking us off the channel], no warning beforehand at all." The station management had an agreement with GTCN that they would be receiving another channel for their new HD content, but instead were demoted to background music for the channel guide. Carol Pulliam, the general manager of GTCN, defended this decision by stating that demoting 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]
