CNY Signal is a Syracuse-based real-time information platform serving people across Central New York. Its goal is to help residents know what is happening locally through timely alerts, live data, and community-focused reporting. The service monitors public safety scanner and dispatch activity, weather, road conditions, and power-grid information around the clock, then uses AI to classify and locate signals and provide context. CNY Signal says its coverage spans six counties, with updates refreshed every 30 seconds.

Visitors can listen to more than 130 regional police, fire, and EMS scanner channels with AI-generated transcription, follow live incidents on a dashboard, and explore alert archives, traffic, weather, and outage information. Residents can sign up for free neighborhood alerts by text, as well as receive the Morning Signal daily briefing by email. The newsroom publishes local updates, community stories, business coverage, data features, and dispatch recaps. CNY Signal also offers Signal Pro and advertising opportunities for organizations seeking to reach local readers.
