Product Reach

Today, under Dan Schmidt's guidance, WTTW11 is still the most-watched public television station in the country, serving more than 65% of Illinois' population as well as areas of Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

WTTW Business Partners are an esteemed group of civic corporations who believe in the power of public television to educate, entertain, and inspire. As the premier corporate membership opportunity at Channel 11, Business Partners demonstrate their commitment to the cultural and educational landscape of the city through an annual donation of general support.

From Chicago Tonight to Curious George, WTTW is the most-watched public television station in the nation, reaching two million households weekly. As the most trusted television news source, even over CNN, according to the National Roper Poll, we reach more households than any cable network.

Business Summary

From its earliest program offerings to its most recent, WTTW has been an agent for change – a bridge to the world of ideas around us. From its earliest broadcasts, WTTW has helped us to know ourselves through innovative, entertaining, and intellectually stimulating programming.

The station has also kept a keen eye on the changing technological landscape. In 2003, WTTW11 opened its state-of-the-art Digital Broadcast Operations Control Center, setting the stage for high-definition program service. The following year, WTTWDigital was launched, becoming Chicago's first 24-hour high definition channel.

For 50 years, it has indeed been our Window To The World.
