WCNY is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1964, it employs approximately 110 individuals and specializes in broadcast media production and distribution.
WCNY rebranded its monthly public affairs series, "CONNECT: NY," as "The Capitol Pressroom" on January 20, 2026. The program airs the last Monday of each month on WCNY-TV and other New York stations. Previously, on November 6, 2025, WCNY President and CEO Mitch Gelman co-authored an opinion piece with Dorian Friedman, discussing public media's evolving role amidst federal funding cuts, including a rescission of over a billion dollars in previously allocated taxpayer support. Earlier, on August 20, 2025, the Central New York Community Foundation provided WCNY with a nearly $500,000 loan to help maintain its job training program for adults interested in television and film careers. Also in August 2025, specifically on the 11th, WCNY collaborated with Upstate Oasis to present a "Caregiving" screening and discussion event. These developments followed a July 19, 2025 report that WCNY was bracing for major funding cuts impacting its programming and initiatives across Central New York.
