“After 34 years as the City Colleges of Chicago’s public television station, WYCC-Channel 20 will be going off the air,” Robert Feder notes. “But it’s no surprise. The decision was prompted by the sale of its broadcast license in the FCC spectrum auction in April.”
If I recall correctly, the idea of the city selling off WYCC’s license originated with Feder; he at least lobbied for it. Which makes me sad, because WYCC offers quality public programming that I find consistently more interesting than the WTTW lineup. Let’s take a look within the confines of our “24 Hours With . . . ” series, starting Friday afternoon.
