WCNY is Central New York’s own member-supported public broadcasting station.

As the public voice for Central New York, WCNY's mission is to connect with and give back to the community that supports us. We do this by inspiring, educating and entertaining the public with programming that encourages a deep appreciation for our diversity and shared humanity.

Our vision is to be the hub that connects Central New York to education, the arts, and public affairs. We seek to distinguish ourselves nationally as an innovator in programming, onsite educational services, and cost-sharing techniques. We will continue to utilize regional partnerships and opportunities for advanced technologies, and be an indispensable community resource and model for others in the public broadcasting field.
