Do we want to keep "Now Hear This" as part of "Great Performances"?

Now Hear This appears to be a separate program that is broadcast in the Great Performances time slot.
PBS lists it as a series within a series (sorry don't know the lingo) https://www.pbs.org/video/trailer-now-hear-qlnpwo/
IMDB lists it as a series https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10692144/?ref_=ttep_ep_tt
TVDB lists it as a separate series entirely https://thetvdb.com/series/now-hear-this
Wikipedia describes it like this
Now Hear This (PBS Classical Music TV Series) 2020 (presented by PBS Great Performances)-2 seasons

PBS does a little of both. It DOES list three series separately (1: "Now Hear This", 2: "Great Performances", and 3: "Great Performances at the Met"), but it also lists them all together as one series under "Great Performances": https://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/episodes/season-49/. The short answer is: we should allow both. "Great Performances" should contain all episodes from all three series, but "Now Hear This" and "Great Performances at the Met" should ALSO be their own series.
