Read aloud over the radio waves
Are you a bookworm with a strong voice and good hearing? Do words come alive to you off the page? Volunteers read and record from newspapers, magazines, and books for thousands of visually impaired listeners. Volunteers sign up to help for at least one hour per shift at their own convenience during WCNY core business hours, 8:30 am - 4 pm (weekdays). For weekend reading of local newspaper, virtual opportunities are available. Biggest need is for daily newspaper readers in the morning.

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

We do this by inspiring, educating and entertaining the public with programming that encourages a deep appreciation for our diversity and shared humanity.
Description
WCNY was launched in 1965 and chartered by the NYS Department of Education as the Public Broadcasting Council of Central New York. WCNY is a nonprofit organization, and a member-supported affiliate of the Public Broadcasting Service. WCNY has dramatically expanded its services throughout 19 counties over the past 50 years. It has grown to include five digital channels available to more than 1.8 million people. WCNY-FM has also grown from a single classical music station to three digital stations. In addition to Classic FM, WCNY broadcasts on its Jazz HD and Oldies HD stations. The WCNY facility features two large television studios, where Artifex, Double Down, Financial Fitness, Insight, Ivory Tower and other local programs are recorded for broadcast. WCNY has launched Enterprise America, an experiential learning center for school-aged children. The 10,000-square-foot center is a city, including businesses which the students run as part of lessons tied to school coursework.
