Community Broadcasters, LLC

We established Community Broadcasters, LLC in 2006. Our vision was to become “a voice for the community” in smaller to mid-size markets in the upstate New York region. To achieve this, we’ve committed ourselves to local programming in all of the markets we serve. Our focus is local news, sports and area events, not just syndicated programming. We believe strongly in giving back to the communities we serve through community involvement, public service and charitable contribution. One of the important charities we support is the Children’s Miracle Network. To further their mission of providing free medical care for children in need, Community Broadcaster’s raises nearly $400,000 each year. And we’re considered a good employer. Our local stations are considered great places to work and develop skills. Our technology is state-of-the-art. The environment is creative and professional. And we believe in rewarding employee performance. Our key local managers, for example, are rewarded for top performance with equity participation. We’re not just broadcasters. We’re Community Broadcasters – with the emphasis on “COMMUNITY”.
