Starting next month, the kind of comprehensive radio and television program information provided by Station Signals will be available on our website, WXXI.org. A change in the way we communicate with our members was inevitable, as the cost of paper, printing and postage escalated over the year. Pushing us along was the painful state funding cut we suffered in Albany this year. Protecting our mission (and, of course, the programming you expect and deserve) was our top priority. We had already cut travel, equipment purchases, benefits and staffing. At the same time, we’ve been investing in WXXI.org and email communication. Every progressive organization is taking advantage of new media to expand its reach in programming, services and communication; WXXI is no exception. This change will allow us to turn our attention to creating robust and engaging e-newsletters and other online services.
