Since 1975, Inside Albany has given New Yorkers an inside look at the workings of New York State government and politics.

No other television program regularly takes its viewers onto the floor of the Assembly and Senate for debates or introduces them to lawmakers from across the state. When the Legislature is not in session, Inside Albany has brought its viewers to a Brooklyn hospital, an Adirondack mountain peak and the control room of Nine Mile II nuclear power plant. For 24 years, Inside Albany has traveled from Buffalo to Brookhaven to cover political campaigns.

This kind of on-the-scene coverage is expensive. Every year Friends of Inside Albany must raise $500,000 from underwriters and individual donors to produce the weekly programs. We receive no financial support from government or from public television to cover our production costs.
