 On
August 1, 2000, Northwest-Shoals Community College became the first
two-year college in the state of Alabama to operate a cable television
channel. Northwest-Shoals began broadcasting programs on a 24 hour
a day, seven day a week cable channel through a partnership with Comcast
Cable of Florence, Alabama. This partnership enables
Northwest-Shoals to deliver distance education courses, cable-assisted
courses, adult education programs, and community service programs to
over 32,000 homes in the northwest Alabama region. The
Northwest-Shoals cable station digital cable channel 192, supports the
Distance Education Program in providing education to those students who
would not normally have access to education opportunities. In
addition, Northwest-Shoals has an agreement with Charter Communications
to expand broadcast capability into the viewing area of our Phil
Campbell campus service area.
