In an effort to go green, WLIW21 New York Public Television will discontinue the print publication of our monthly program guide, In Focus. May’s guide will be the last print issue. Read it now here.
Beginning in June, read WLIW21’s new online guide each month at wliw.org/guide. New features will include video, color images, and daily updated schedules for all channels — WLIW21, WLIW Create and WLIW World. Plus, WLIW21’s online guide helps our environment by creating one million less printed pages a year! To learn how you can go green, check out Going Green Long Island.
WLIW21’s online guide also utilizes your contributions more efficiently and allows us to put more of your donation toward programming as we face government and public funding deficits.
Thank you for supporting WLIW21 and our effort to go green!
DISAPPOINTED TO SEE “IN FOCUS” DISCONTINUED
I understand and appreciate your “going green” efforts, but I am deeply disappointed not to have the convenience of the printed schedule. Having to check it daily on the damned computer is worse than inconvenient!
I think it is a great disservice to all viewers to discontinue the printed TV guide. Unfortunately, I do not have time to go online every day to check the schedule. It is bad enough that you constantly move programs without notice. Like when you took off This Old House on Saturday at 4 pm and moved it in the middle of the recent NY series. I missed at least three episodes before I found it again. I am sure this change has more to do with cost cutting than going green. You may have less money from me not contributing anymore!
I receive channel 21 program on the dish network. Their guide doesn’t list the programming for the pbs stations,
so I relied on the downloadable monthly guide posted on the website which I could access on my computer showing the whole month’s programming. You have now made this guide unavailable. Not a good idea for regular viewers.
I am not too happy. Why can’t you make a monthly guide for online download without the unnecessary friles? The Read the June schedule and the on line daily schedule doesn’t cut it. I like to look through the whole month schedule to see what’s coming up.
Very displeased

Great inconverience to go online to see what is on Channel 21.
Why not send a one page program guide instead of a many page
guide if you want to save paper? Would save on computer use.
Comment submitted a few minutes ago. Inconvenient way of
showing programs for wliw. Why not send out a one-page
paper showing programs in an unlengthy manner? Would use
less paper.
It is inconvenient to have to go online for the schedule instead of having the paper monthly guide you could keep right by the TV. It’s essential because the schedules do keep changing. I’m on the computer so much already I don’t need another reason to go there. And computers use energy too. Going to a smaller paper format is my first choice. Also I’d rather see a weekly or monthly schedule than day by day. And rather not have to scroll through all the times. In short I’d rather you just post the same format you had in the print guide, or even more compact, and make it easily printable. The one plus of the online format is that it’s searchable, but that is not a big deal. It also took me a while to figure out where the info I need is on the site. Would have appreciated a print notice of the changeover with instructions where to find the schedule online. Once you do it it looks obvious, but not before. And my husband and I were wondering what had happened to LIW. Our print guides just stopped coming with no explanation, at least none we received.
It is now December 15th and still your schedule on your website does not show the correct time for the shows, which of course, makes them useless. Would someone PLEASE TELL ME why 21 is unable to post a valid schedule. Does anyone there ever read this schedule on your website? You have the times 8:00, 8:30, 9:00 in one column and the programs in the next column but they are not on a line with the times! I will be unable to send a contribution to 21 in future since I cannot watch your programs.
