Diversity reigns supreme in the city that never sleeps. As a 24/7 independent television broadcaster and public service organization, WLIW21 strives to produce and acquire the most diverse programs available for the New York metropolitan area and beyond.

WLIW21s programming spans all genres from music, travel, culture, and lifestyle series/specials to self-help, the arts, documentary, drama, and how-to programs to truly reflect the community that financially supports the non-profit station and helps keep it commercial-free.

WLIW21 takes this commitment to diversity even further in its role as major producer and distributor of series and specials for the other 350+ public television stations across the US. Fundraising specials like Billy Joel: The Stranger Live, Celtic Thunder, Visions of Italy, and Stay Rich Forever and Ever with Ed Slott (among more than a hundred others) have raised millions of dollars in support of public broadcasting in the last decade.
