The Rutgers University Television now offers more than 80 programming services on over 100 analog and digital channels. If you are using a standard television, our analog lineup includes 73 channels, and remains unchanged from 2008-09.

We also offer several of the digital channels available over the air from the New York City market, including High Definition (HDTV) from the four major broadcast networks.

2009-2010 marks the beginning of RU-tv’s transition to a digital delivery system. We’ve added almost 30 channels of standard definition digital channels, including several foreign language services.
