WNET, the parent company of New York City-area public broadcasters WNET Channel 13 and WLIW Channel 21, is going into the local news business, starting on the Web around Memorial Day. The new venture, named “MetroFocus,” is envisioned as a half-hour television show and, eventually, a mobile application as well. The expansion to television specials or a monthly or weekly show, appearing on both television stations, could come as soon as the fall, and a daily version is expected to follow later.
