viewership of the preceding program, Antiques Roadshow. In 2019, the WNET Group expanded its presence on Long Island to radio by buying Southampton public radio station WPPB (88.3 FM), covering eastern Long Island, and rebranding it as WLIW-FM the next year. Local programming Nationally distributed public television programming presented by WLIW includes Consuelo Mack WealthTrack, which has been in production since 2005. Programs of local interest include the monthly WLIW Arts Beat and Treasures of New York. Some programs are shared with the rest of the WNET group, such as MetroFocus (aired on WNET, WLIW, and NJ PBS). Since 1997, WLIW has produced and distributed the Visions series of programs, using aerial montages to showcase regions and countries. In 2020, WLIW debuted Drive By History, which spotlights roadside history markers on Long Island and in New Jersey. Historically, the station produced full-length Long Island news programs. The first such program, known as Long Island Newsmagazine and Newsview, was canceled in June 1982 for financial reasons. It was then revived in January 1985, but low ratings motivated the station to cancel The Long Island Report in 1988. A nightly news program was revived in July 1990 with the debut of The 21 Edition; this continued for one year until being canceled in 1991 due to budget cuts. Technical information Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed. In addition to the Create and World services, WLIW also offers All Arts, a 24-hour arts channel produced by The WNET Group and launched in 2019. Analog-to-digital conversion WLIW discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 21, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 22 to channel 21. The WNET Group relocated WLIW to One World Trade Center in 2019, coinciding with the repack from channel 21 to channel 32. ATSC 3.0 On February 1, 2022, The WNET Group announced plans to convert WLIW into an ATSC 3.0 television station. As part of the plan, WLIW will move its ATSC 1.0 broadcast to its sister station, WNET, while WLIW would additionally carry ATSC 3.0 broadcasts from WNET and NJ PBS in addition to WLIW's own broadcast. An estimated launch date for the end of 2022 was given. Notes References External links ALL ARTS website LIW PBS member stations Television channels and stations established
