TV Worth Blogging

An insider's view of public television programming and the issues that help determine what and how you watch
WILL-TV Viewers to Witness Historic Performance
The New York Philharmonic’s unprecedented trip to North Korea has been making headlines this week, but Central Illinois doesn’t just have to read about it: they will have the opportunity to watch the performance itself, a mere two days after the live concert. The producers of Great Performances have been working feverishly to prepare the program for broadcast Thursday. (WILL-TV will air it from 8:00 to 10:00 pm on February 28.)
In fact, the whole thing came together very quickly. Public TV stations were first informed about the program only three weeks ago, long after we'd published our February schedules. However, even though WILL-TV is in the middle of a very important fundraising drive, we put our previous plans on hold in order to bring you this historic event. I hope you'll tune in!
