SYRACUSE, N.Y. — WCNY, Central New York’s public broadcaster, announced it has hired John McBride as manager of underwriting and corporate sponsorship.

Prior to joining WCNY, McBride held positions in municipal and corporate banking with Berkshire Bank and J.P. Morgan Chase, and in top development roles at SUNY Morrisville and St. Camillus Health and Rehabilitation Center.

McBride resides in Jamesville and currently serves as an Onondaga County legislator for the 11th district. He also previously held senior staff positions for two local New York State senators.

McBride is no stranger to WCNY as he helped write and produce WCNY’s “Financial Fitness,” a weekly television program on which he was an occasional guest host.

“WCNY is thrilled to welcome John McBride to the station. He has a long history of supporting public broadcasting in Central New York, and we are excited about how John’s experience in the private and public sector will help WCNY continue to grow as a source of trusted information, education, music, arts, and culture for our communities,” Mitch Gelman, WCNY president & CEO, said in a release.

McBride earned a graduate degree from Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.
