Move It! -
WSKG's award-winning television show features a
unique, high energy format for children and families interested in
health and wellness.
Move
It! began airing in the fall of 2009 and continues
with a second season in fall 2010.
Whether it's a pond safari at Finch Hollow Nature Center, an on-ice
hockey skills challenge following a meeting with the Binghamton
Senators, or a salsa dance competition, the
Move
It! teams went non-stop the first season as they
participated in numerous challenges. At the end of the first
season, the winning team received a prize package donated by local
businesses.

It! from the New York State Nurses Association, District
