News 12 Networks is the New York tri-state leader in hyper-local content - providing exclusive news, weather, traffic, and sports to 7 unique local areas, all within the #1 television DMA. Owned and operated by Altice USA. While today the 24-hour news cycle is well established, News 12 Long Island was the FIRST local channel to provide around the clock local news, and the first to give Long Island a channel specifically targeted to their local issues. From that same model, 6 additional channels were launched as part of the hyper-local network, in New Jersey, Westchester, the Bronx, Brooklyn, the Hudson Valley (Rockland and Orange Counties), and Connecticut. As an award-winning service, beloved by its customers, and tops in viewership metrics, News 12 Networks is more relevant than ever. A cable-exclusive service, proudly affiliated with Optimum, Charter, Comcast, and Service Electric, the network reaches more than 3 million households, covering nearly half of the New York television market. News 12's digital and interactive division provides hyper- local news "on the go" with services on mobile, desktop, and OTT, exclusively for affiliated cable customers. News 12 Networks is owned and operated by Altice USA.
