SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Mayor Stephanie A. Miner announced the 2015 State of the City address will be delivered on Thursday, January 29 at 7:00 p.m. at the new WCNY Studios. This will be Mayor Miner’s fifth annual State of the City address.
“WCNY has become an anchor for revitalization on the City’s Near West Side and I am pleased to hold my address in their studios,” said Mayor Stephanie A. Miner. “WCNY is emblematic of efforts we’ve taken for years reimagine our neighborhoods. I look forward to welcoming the community to their new facilities.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Mayor Miner to WCNY to deliver her 2015 State of the City address,” said Robert J. Daino, President and CEO of WCNY. “When we made the move into the Near West Side, we were excited to capture the energy of this growing part of the City. Having Mayor Miner deliver her State of the City address in our Broadcast and Education Center cements our position as part of the future of this neighborhood and as a community connector”.
Doors for the State of the City address will open at 6:00 p.m. and the public is invited to enjoy a community reception. The formal program for the evening will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the main production studios of WCNY. American Sign Language interpretation will be available and provide by Whole Me, Inc.

WCNY moved its operations from its longtime home in Liverpool to a new, state-of-the-art Broadcast and Education Center on Syracuse’s Near Westside in 2013. The facility features two large television studios, where original local programs are recorded in HD. The building also is home to two new radio studios and 10 audio and video production suites, and the Joint Master Control Operating Co., a WCNY-owned company that manages television program distribution for all the New York and New Jersey public broadcasting companies.
