We're delighted to once again be able to offer WLIW21's ITV-On-Request service which allows you to select the programs you want to see on air in the ITV time slot (1:00-4:00 AM on Fridays). Now, better than ever because we've added a searchable database! You can select by curriculum area, grade level and key word. Find the program episode you're interested in, check to see if we've already scheduled it and, if not, then you can fill in a request form that we will try to honor in the next available time slot. Please note that air space is limited so try to choose only those episodes that you really need. We will fill the spaces on a first come, first served basis. If you have any questions regarding the ITV programming, please so not hesitate to contact us at itvfeedback@wliw.org or via phone at 516.367.2100 ext. 8498.
