The WSKG Public Telecommunications Council, Inc. (WSKG, Inc.) is the name of a non-profit Public Broadcasting organisation serving Central, Western, and the Southern Tier of New York State, and Northeast Pennsylvania, with offices based in Vestal (Binghamton).
WSKG, Inc. owns and operates the following stations:
- WSKG-TV, a PBS member station operating on analog channel 46, digital 42; repeated in digital on WSKA-DT channel 30 in Corning, New York
- WSKG-FM, an NPR member station featuring news and public affairs, plus classical music
- WSQX-FM, an NPR member station featuring news and public affairs from NPR, Pacifica, and other sources, plus jazz music.
Due to the hilly terrain of the Southern Tier region, WSKG's radio stations are retransmitted on various repeaters and translators throughout the region. WSKG originally also had a network of low-powered television repeaters as well, but were shut down due to high costs.
Famous quotes containing the words public and/or council:
“When I saw it I was so glad I could not speak. My eyes seemed too little to see it all.... I was a long time without speaking to my friend. To see me always looking and never speaking he thought I had lost my mind. I could not understand where all this could come from.”
—For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
