ResearchChannel at UW-Madison
ResearchChannel offers the world’s leading research universities an ever-expanding, 24-hour network for the broadcast of faculty research findings, institutional lectures, interviews, panel discussions and documentaries. ResearchChannel reaches nearly 22 million television households in the United States and countless online viewers worldwide, using cable, satellite and web streaming technologies.
UW-Madison has become a contributing member of the ResearchChannel consortium. As a participating institution, UW-Madison gains a new avenue for communicating directly with general audiences and with core constituencies, including alumni and prospective students. Furthermore, at a time when many large research grants require recipients to broadly disseminate their findings and increase public understanding, ResearchChannel gives faculty researchers a widely accessible voice.
On Television
ResearchChannel broadcasts the latest research information free-of-charge,
24 hours a day to nearly 22 million television households throughout
the United States. Locally, the Dish Network (channel 9400) carries the ResearchChannel as does Charter Communications through its On Demand service, which will be free to digital cable subscribers..
On-Line/On Demand
Audiences worldwide can watch ResearchChannel’s continuous broadcasts as streaming video or multicast video (where multicast is available). Online audiences can also watch any ResearchChannel program at their
own convenience by searching through a video library of over 1300 full-length programs and viewing their
selected program “on demand.” Soon, viewers can also visit Google Video to download ResearchChannel programs for personal, educational and noncommercial use.
On Campus
Once the multicast-enabled 21st century campus installation is completed
in 2006, all UW-Madison faculty, staff, and students will be able
to watch ResearchChannel on their campus workstations and laptops
anytime, anywhere, using the free Quicktime Media Player. ResearchChannel will be one of several educational satellite channels and
news-oriented cable television channels carried by Digital
