Repeaters

The station also operates WSKA-DT channel 30 in Corning, New York. WSKA had begun broadcasting as of fall 2006 as a repeater station of WSKG-DT.

WSKG-TV once had many analog translators in operation across New York's Southern Tier. However, due to high operating costs, WSKG ceased the broadcasts, and surrendered the licenses of almost all of their television translators. W60AD channel 60 in Savona, New York was their only TV translator remaining in recent years, until the repeater license was cancelled on January 13, 2012. It had an ERP of 650 watts.
