Mission
WSKG
Public Broadcasting exists to address issues of importance
and give them context in our local communities; to teach
children the best values of our culture; to raise civic
questions so that citizens can answer them; to give voice
to the voiceless; and to inspire audiences to see our
region and world as a diverse, complex and fascinating
place.
Vision
WSKG Public Broadcasting will be a preeminent catalyst for community
growth and development through: programs of discovery, learning, and
engagement that draw the communities we serve together, model collaborative
partnerships and collaboration with public and private enterprise to
pursue common objectives and a staff committed to WSKG’s values
and culture.
Values and Culture
At WSKG we strongly value: diversity, education, concern for community
welfare, security, continuous improvement, flexibility, creativity, innovation
and the culture of WSKG in and of itself. These values help us to clearly
define our mission as an organization serving our community.
Overview
WSKG
is operated by WSKG Public Telecommunications Council, a private
non-profit corporation chartered by the Board of Regents
of the State University of New York in
association with the New York State Department
of Education, and provides a public educational
telecommunications service under the governance of a Board of Trustees
which is selected from the communities served
by the Station. WSKG is a community licensee
and is authorized by the FCC to operate television
and radio broadcasting services.
WSKG
provides a public broadcasting service to residents
of the Station's coverage area. To accomplish
this WSKG produces
programs locally and purchases programs
from Public
Broadcasting Service (PBS), American
Public Television (APT), National
Public Radio (NPR), and American
Public Media, Public
Radio International and others. WSKG then promotes
these programs to the public through this web site,
the program guide GAMUT, other publications, use
of the stations' own air time, and through other
media.
WSKG
seeks educational, social and cultural concerns to
address through public telecommunications in cooperation
with others... and does so through the Community
Advisory Board, featuring listeners & viewers
from various communities in WSKG's coverage area.
