WYIN has often showed stuff WTTW hasn't. WTTW passes on a number of
show that air "nationally" because they don't want to pay the license
fees for everything. They claim they can't afford it. I've seen many
shows air first on WYIN. These shows usually, but not always, turn up
later (sometimes much later) on WTTW, usually during their beg
sessions. These are music/musical programs much of the time-geared to
middle-age to older folks. The Peggy Lee documentary ("Fever - The
Music of Peggy Lee") was seen "nationally" but not in Chicago for
example.
What gets my goat is that the HD WTTW channel rarely shows what's
offered "nationally" on PBS. They show it on the regular station but
not on the HD channel. Always preceeded by a "In HD Where Available"
note at the beginning. This has been the case with all the theatre
pieces that PBS has done in the last few years-usually episodes of
"Great Performances."
