TV Worth Blogging

An insider's view of public television programming and the issues that help determine what and how you watch
PBS World (and Create) Now Available 24 Hours A Day!
This morning, WILL-TV took its final step (for now) in its digital multicast plans. Effective today, WILL 12.2--which had previously been a standard-definition simulcast of our primary channel--is the new home for PBS World!
We're now able to offer the full slate of World programming, including news, public affairs and documentaries. You can watch favorites such as Charlie Rose or The Newshour at alternate times, or enjoy series such as Tavis Smiley and WorldFocus that we previously couldn't accommodate on a single channel.
You can find the PBS World lineup on our schedule page; look for the row titled "WILL 12.2."
At the moment, you'll need to be able to receive over-the-air digital signals to watch World. See our DTV FAQ for more information. We'll be contacting cable services throughout the area about the new channel, and we'll post information about where to find PBS World on cable as it becomes available.
The move of PBS World to its own channel means that we're once again able to offer the popular Create how-to program service on a 24-hour basis. Spend your evenings with your favorite chefs, artists, gardeners, crafters and travel buffs! Check out our schedule page for the lineup on WILL 12.3. More information about Create is available at its website.
What is the name of the song that is played during station breaks, that is a girl singing something like “all around the world…”??
It’s “The World Turned Upside Down,” by Coldplay.
