EducationCounts_Michiana

All PTV stations are, at their core, educational, and WNIT reinforced its role in regional education by expanding to its lineup of weekly Ed programs. In Nov. 2016, we launched EducationCounts_Michiana, aimed at finding the region’s best examples of learning practices. “Citizen hosts” lead viewers through 3-4 segments in each half-hour program. Content is driven by an advisory group of community leaders from school superintendents to early childhood professionals and business people.

Summer Learning Day

By |

In July 2017 WCNY partnered with The Literacy Coalition of Onondaga County, and the Onondaga County Public Library to present the annual Summer Learning Day. The event focused on engaging the community to make summer a season of learning and had the theme “Dive into Summer with Splash & Bubbles,” a new PBS Kids show. Nearly 2000 people turned out for the event, 4X the 2016 attendance. Using PBS characters combined with many other activities was the key to success.
