WYCC, virtual channel 20 (UHF digital channel 21), is a PBS member television station located in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The station is owned by the City Colleges of Chicago. WYCC maintains studio facilities located at Kennedy–King College on South Union Avenue and Halsted Parkway in the Englewood neighborhood, and its transmitter is located atop the John Hancock Center on North Michigan Avenue in the Streeterville neighborhood. On cable, the station is available on Comcast Xfinity, RCN, WOW! and AT&T U-verse channel 20. There is a high definition feed offered on Comcast Xfinity digital channel 240.
Acting as the market's secondary outlet for the educational programming service, WYCC serves as one of three PBS member stations serving the Chicago metropolitan area, alongside WTTW (channel 11) and Gary, Indiana-licensed WYIN (channel 56). Because the Chicago market is well-served by PBS' national programming from those two stations, WYCC's programming focuses more on adult educational and other instructional programming, along with other programming obtained by producers outside of those associated with PBS, which account for only 13% of the programs provided as part of WYCC's weekly schedule.
