The series, which is hosted by Sigourney Weaver, will also be repeated Sundays, streamed online and broadcast on sister station WLIW/Channel 21, but the rights deals do not allow for national broadcast.

They won't be broadcast, but as stevemr noted above, they will be streamed, so everybody WILL have a chance to watch them...legally.:)

I missed that note in the article about them being shown only on WNET and WLIW.

Perhaps if the issues can be worked out, some of them will eventually be shown on other PBS stations.

These plays are perfect for local production, so I suspect those who profit from subsequent productions (authors, publishers, and some of the presenting companies) don't want to inhibit regional theaters from taking them up.

I would hope they can simply come up with a formula for national broadcast at a later date.
