CONNECT NY

The award-winning monthly “CONNECT NY” offers lively discussion and insightful analysis on timely issues that affect people across the Empire State. Tackling public affairs topics significant in the lives of New Yorkers, we explore important conflicts, personal experiences, and tough issues unfolding at the state level through the lens of the stakeholders involved – those in government; law; business; labor and environmental organizations; and community leadership. By sharing a diversity of perspectives, this program aims to shed light on potential solutions to the complex problems facing our state.

Tune in for the December Edition of “CONNECT NY” on Monday, Dec. 25 at 9:30 p.m. on WCNY-TV!
