Charter/spectrum to launch a cable news channel in 5 markets

i'm surprised Dallas-Fort Worth isn't on the list as they are a huge major media market and they are one of the big markets Charter is serving in the basic cable side of TV. and Charter was already in select cites in the DFW area pre-Time Warner Cable buyout, and then after that buyout/merger, Charter pretty much became the semi-monopoly of basic cable in north Texas.
 
In the Los Angeles market, Spectrum already a local news channel, but it only serves the Antelope Valley portion of Los Angeles County. L.A. itself is already a news-heavy TV market, especially given the fact there's a newscast almost literally every hour from 4am to 11:35pm every weekday (and in various languages at that), and with that there's never been the big push to launch a cable news channel here locally.

The closing thing we have had was the Orange County Newschannel in the 1990s/early 2000s...they had backing of the Orange County Register and Century Communications (which later became part of Adelphia), but it was only limited to Orange County cable subscribers, and maybe a few areas along the L.A./Orange counties border.
