Know your history


In 1976, Cable 13 was included as an official committee of the Duke University Union, making it the first entirely student-run television station in the nation. Founded by visionary students seeking to make student television on Duke’s campus a reality, Cable 13’s beginnings were modest. At first renting its equipment and broadcasting only in black and white, Cable 13 looked towards better days in TV. In 1979, with its first color broadcast, Cable 13 began acquiring its own color cameras and equipment.

Popular show such as “Inside Duke”, “Late Night”, and “Life on the Quad” highlighted the potential at the station. This creativity and popularity fueled the station’s success. 

Dramas, documentaries, news shows, comedies, and sports have all been the focus of Cable 13 production.  Cable 13 greeted its twentieth anniversary in 1996 with one of its grandest moments ever.  The Cable 13 drama "Ivy Tower" was nominated for the "Best Drama" Emmy Award by the National Association of College Broadcasters.

After a slight decline in production for the past couple of years, last year's executive board made a new commitment to raise the station once again to the forefront of college television. 

With over 100 students participating, new shows were produced along with several sports games and news casts.
