NY1 To Rebrand To "Time Warner Cable News"

[DToTheJ]

A mouthful, I know. Based on this, how soon will the "News 12" moniker be ditched by Cablevision in favor of "Cablevision Local News"?

The difference News 12 has wide distribution on Comcast and some other cable companies. NY1 is mostly of Time Warner Systems

I was visiting friends in North Carolina last year and Time Warner actually carries NY1 down there.

Yeah they carry it in both North and South Carolina. So even people hundreds of miles away know the NY1 brand.

This is a moronic rebrand.

Time Warner also has its own news channel in North Carolina - and that network's rebranding is imminent:

NY1 is on Maine TWC systems as well, though only on the digital tier.

After twenty years NY1 needs new graphics. NYC's official colors, blue and orange, have to go. Time Warner should take a cue from News12 on visual presentation.

This is a moronic rebrand.

Even Bright House (Time Warner programmed) systems in Orlando and Tampa carry NY1

 

[NYC viewer]

I'm wondering, since NY1 is seen in so many other cities, are any those local news channels available here?
I know that Cablevision has an interactive News12 that allows viewers to watch reports, traffic and weather and also a daily archived newscast from any of their systems on demand.

Other than importing a local NY weather cast for their 11 pm news from one of their other systems, are any other TWC News services available here in NY?
