WCNY’s ‘Impact Giveback Program, Part 2’ Premieres Nov. 28 on WCNY-TV

WCNY’s, Central New York’s community-owned public broadcaster, television series “Impact Giveback Program” returns with three follow-up episodes on Monday, Nov. 28 at 8 p.m. on WCNY-TV. The show celebrates local businesses across Central New York that demonstrated resilience while facing the challenges of COVID-19.

Last year, in partnership with Ithaca College, WCNY selected 60 businesses across the region to participate in video production, digital marketing, print advertising, and more to support business efforts to revive and thrive in a post-pandemic economy. The 60 businesses were also featured in the “Impact Giveback Program” three-part series, which aired last fall on WCNY-TV.

This year, the program returns with three follow-up episodes. We’ll check-in with 15 of the 60 featured businesses for updates on where they are now. We’ll also learn more about these businesses’ perseverance through the pandemic and discover how each one is continuing to make an impact in our community.

The three-part television series airs on Monday, Nov. 28, Dec. 12, and Dec. 26 at 8 p.m. on WCNY-TV. The series is sponsored by Bousquet Holstein PLLC.

Each episode will be available to stream immediately after it airs at video.wcny.org/show/impact-giveback. For viewing information, visit wcny.org/wheretowatch. To learn more about the show, visit wcny.org/impactprogram.
