Funded by a grant from The NoVo Foundation, in 2017 Radio Kingston acquired a 153-year-old hexagonal building in Kingston NY, and engaged WSDG to design a 2000 SQ. FT. broadcast complex powered by renewable energy and equipped to provide broadcast, podcast audio (and video) programming for their listeners. Numerous changes in the scope of the design were incorporated as the project expanded its mission statement and, its physical footprint to include retooling an existing two-story garage, as a 325 SQ. FT. multipurpose live performance studio. WKNY-Radio Kingston’s metamorphosis into a template for future radio station design will be explained by a panel co-chaired by WSDG Founding Partner, John Storyk and WSDG Partner,/COO, Joshua Morris. Participants include WSDG Partner/Project Manager, Mathew Ballos; Philanthropist and NoVo Foundation Founding Director, Peter Buffett; Jimmy Buff, Executive Director, Radio Kingston Corp., Kristen Thorne, Station Business Manager, WKNY, and Kale Kaposhilin, Station Technical Director/Chief Engineer, WKNY.
