Dear Viewer:
Riched20 5.40.11.2210;Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding WLIW's digital service. WLIW Create launched April 1 as the first step in an exciting evolution of digital content for New York public television viewers. WLIW Create, broadcasting from Plainview, Long Island, is available
over-the-air on channel DT 22-3 to viewers with digital receivers throughout the region. WLIWDT 21-1 is no longer broadcasting the PBS HDTV schedule but viewers can still find that programming on Thirteen HD* (see listings below). WLIW21's analog schedule will continue to air on the digital 22-2
channel.
WLIW Create takes advantage of the new digital spectrum assigned to both WLIW21 and our sister station, Thirteen/WNET, to offer new viewing options for our community - presenting alternative air times for popular programs and allowing us to go into our program libraries to present content that
doesn't currently air on channels 21 and 13.
WLIW Create invites viewers to take a hands-on approach to life through a "do-it-yourself" library of series and specials on cooking, renovating, collecting, painting, crafts, traveling, gardening, and more. With this new service, and the others that will follow in the coming months, public
television enters a new era in which we have more opportunities than ever before to give our viewers innovative ways to focus in on the kinds of programming that addresses their interests and perspectives.
The WLIW Create 24-hour digital service features such public television favorites as This Old House, New Yankee Workshop, Jacques Pepin Celebrates!, Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen, Martin Yan's Chinatowns, Globe Trekker, Travels in Europe With Rick Steves, Passport to Adventure The Best of Simply
Painting, One Stroke Painting With Donna Dewberry, and Antiques Roadshow - just to name a few. For your convenience, the program schedule is broadcast after every show.
*Thirteen HD is available over the air (limited mostly to access in New Jersey) and on:
Time Warner/channel 713
Cablevision/channel 713
Comcast/channel 190
RCN/channel 189 (Manhattan and Queens)
RCN/channel 184 (other locations)
Sincerely,
WLIW21
