WOUB-TV channel 20 is a non-commercial educational television station licensed to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. WOUB-TV's programming can also be seen on satellite station WOUC-TV channel 44, located in Cambridge, Ohio. Both stations are members of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
The WOUB/WOUC studios and offices are located in the Radio-TV building on the Athens campus of Ohio University, which owns the stations' licenses through the WOUB Center for Public Media. The Center is a non-academic unit of the Scripps College of Communication. The two stations combined serves southeastern Ohio and portions of neighboring West Virginia and Kentucky. The public media center also serves as a laboratory for Ohio University students who are interested in gaining experience in broadcasting and related technologies. In addition to radio (WOUB-FM) and television, WOUB is also active in online services and media production.
Unlike most PBS stations, the channel produces a regular local newscast by university students studying and training on television news casts at Ohio University. With that, they mainly focus on the area around Athens, which is mostly ignored by the Columbus, Zanesville and Huntington-Charleston stations that serve the Athens area.
Past students of the station (and alumni of Ohio University by extension) include current Today Show co-host Matt Lauer, along with numerous major market television news anchors and reporters.
