Well, I don't really think that it should be in areas within New Jersey. I mean it would've been difficult considering some areas of NYC are near New Jersey, but it could be possible if you could get NY1 in NJ.

More like a couple years, but I hope it doesn't get as bad in the near future.

That seems tragic for WABC to go through two of their anchors with serious car accidents. It's like 2017 is already troubling for them.

Somebody mentioned that on this thread a while back. Although, it reminds me that Spectrum should have all cable systems get NY1 in every area of New York City.

And then they'll get other reporters to replace them... soon enough.

To me, NY1's graphics has been the same since 2013. News 12 has been okay from what you've been saying. However, I can't access News 12's coverage because I don't have the channel in my area. Same with FiOS 1, despite having the cable system in my house.

That's what every local news station does. They make sure they cover their precise locations alright.

It seems simple, if you don’t have cable or don’t have an Internet TV subscription. I’ll rather go watch cable news if I wanted national news, not from a local news station that wouldn’t get everything.

Why would anybody need to watch national news coverage from a local news station, if most of them could already get national news from their cable news channels?

So... they don't have it anywhere in most of New York City (considering every borough is a TWC area)? Well that sucks. Well, at least News12 would probably become a better alternative that don't have TWC, even though it's not NYC-oriented.

Just in Brooklyn within Altice areas? That seems very limited, especially for those who have FiOS outside of Brooklyn.

I'm probably not hoping that Verizon would bring in News12 for their NYC citizens, since the city already has too much local news stations within the area. All of which are covered by all 5 boroughs.

Time Warner Cable had enough mergers. Having one with NY1 would be problematic.

I don’t think NY1 should be merged with WNBC. NY1 should only be meant as a news channel. Although I wish they had coverage for all cable companies and not just Time Warner Cable and Optimum.

Oh. Well that would save me time the next time I go to her house. My grandma mostly watches sports and cable news anyway.

Well, my grandma lives in Litchfield County in Connecticut. So I’m not sure if this is true or not.

Yeah. Considering they report on anything within the five boroughs.

Well yeah, but hopefully they have coverage for northwest Connecticut.

Well, NY1 treats all boroughs of New York City. So it wouldn’t be like it’s a big deal for anybody outside of Brooklyn and Queens to get News12. Especially when a lot of Staten Islanders still get the Staten Island Advance.

I don’t really need to find somebody to watch News12, as my grandmother in Connecticut probably has that channel.

I mean that not a lot of people that I know had Charter before it had Time Warner Cable. I didn’t mention anything about bootleg cable boxes. Yeah, I meant that it was a tri-state operation. However, it doesn’t carry every area of New York City (Staten Island and Queens) and most of upstate New York.

I also have FiOS, but I don’t know anybody that allows me to watch NY1 from their Spectrum cable package.

Well, you're right. I'm from Staten Island and I don't even have News12 on my cable package. So it doesn't really cover all of the boroughs in NYC.

Not a lot of people in Staten Island that I know of really uses Charter (aside from their Spectrum cable boxes). Same for Manhattan and Queens. So it wouldn’t matter for the majority of those boroughs, but it wouldn’t be a good idea for a company like Altice.

I don’t watch News12, but it’s not like NY1 since that channel only broadcasts media to all boroughs of New York City (at least for those who have Time Warner Cable). News12 is more of a tri-state area news station.
