In May 1968, WSKG-TV began broadcasting over Channel 46 from Binghamton, New York. The station's call letters were taken from the initials of Dr. Stanley Kiehl Gambell, a prominent local clergyman active in children's television programming. WSKG moved to a permanent home in Vestal, New York, in 1989, renovating the former Willow Point Elementary School.

WSKG Public Radio began broadcasting at 89.3 FM in Binghamton in October 1975 and became affiliated with National Public Radio and American Public Radio (now known as Public Radio International).
