Is this level of disambiguation necessary? -- Zoe

FWIW the programme the hacker interrupted was a broadcast of the 1977 Doctor Who story "The Horror of Fang Rock". Ironically enough when the normal signal was restored, it was at the part of the story where the Doctor finds the body of a victim electrocuted by the alien monster and his lines are "the shock must have killed him instantly"!

hijacking incident

It seems to me that the hijacking incident doesn't really belong in detail either here or under WGN but rather as a historical incident should have its own article and just be mentioned on these two sites. I'd love to know more about it (having witnessed it when I was living alone --- I thought he was saying something about watching me and such but then decided nobody could be and went to the kitchen until it got fixed.) but don't think it deserves more of the WTTW article's real estate. --Jaibe 19:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

CRITICISMS

Local and national media watchdogs have found that WTTW has several key challenges.

Block quote <WTTW suffers from layoffs, an overpaid executive staff, embezzlement, and financial mismanagement. It appeals to for profit corporations for funds, staff, and board members. In fact, WTTW holds a place of infamy as being the only station fined by the FCC for excessive commercialism.>

This in turn effects the quality of programming. There are few progressive television programs like Bill Moyers Journal or Now. Also a lack of non-white racial representation on shows such as Chicago Tonight, which itself rarely covers local, national, or international news perferring to cover mostly sports and entertainment. In general WTTW fails to

</regularly present perspectives by labor unions, the poor and working class, ethnic minorities or any of the demographics which comprise Chicago>
