WHYY’s On Canvas is what it “should be doing”

WHYY’s new weekly arts show On Canvas, which premieres tonight on its digital arts channel, is “just the kind of thing the big public station in the nation’s fourth-largest TV market should be doing: a showcase of the variety of performing arts in the region,” writes Philadelphia Inquirer TV critic Jonathan Storm. He lauds the program for not crowding performances–a banjo gathering, classical Arab music, a Native American flute player, a local singer-songwriter–with interviews and explanation.
