Northulic Television
Northulic Television is an affiliate of the Sentry Broadcasting Corporation. The network covers the state of Norfolk and is operated by the Northulic Communication System (NCS) over two individual television signal generators.
History[edit | edit source]
In 1962, a Communist-led politician who owned Sea Dragon Radio (now the Northulic-owned BNC Norfolk, a BNC affiliate) decided to get the license for channel 10 in Hampton, but in 1964, the plan fell. The license was then given to Northulic Radio and made its first broadcast on February 10, 1969.
At launch it was an oddity in Bensonian television: a dual affiliate of Supreme Television and SBC. Within less than a year, Supreme's programming was dropped in favor of some NIS programming, but was dropped in 1974. Nonetheless, the news operation has always been aligned to SBC, and has also broadcast most of its soaps. This led to massive discontent among the other parties involved (first Supreme then NIS), as SBC's rising influence was hurting the mainframe of the station's basic operation.
While it legally covered the northern half of the state, there were some reception problems in the southern half until the 80s when NCTV (Northulic Circuit Television) was set up on Warley channel 9. In 2008, Northulic bought NCTV and the two now created a statewide network.
Branding[edit | edit source]
Northulic Television's logo is a merman child with blue hair and tail and a slightly wavy appearance, creating some sort of N, with the channel's name (either Northulic Television or Northulic TV) underneath.
Transmission[edit | edit source]
The network is broadcast over two terrestrial stations (known as signal generators):
- PRHP-TV, channel 10, Hampton
- PRWA-TV, channel 9, Warley
The stations are individually branded as Northulic Hampton and Northulic Warley.
