Friends of University Network Television (FOUNT) was incorporated on 2 March 1975 as a nonprofit corporation to improve communication between the University of North Carolina Television Network and the citizens of North Carolina. The goal was to increase popular awareness of and support for public television. FOUNT's funding came from membership dues, contributions, and grants from North Carolina charitable foundations. Its activities focused on creation of local chapters, distribution of program preference ballots, publication of program listings and newsletters, and production of telethons. FOUNT was dissolved in 1981, two years after the establishment of the University of North Carolina Center for Public Television, which had gradually assumed the functions of FOUNT. Records of the Friends of University Network Television include minutes and correspondence of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, correspondence of the president and other officials, financial records, photographs of FOUNT staff and functions, and other items.
