Spectrum News 1 Launches in Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin

In just over a month's time, Spectrum Networks has launched three more 24/7 news networks in Kentucky, Ohio and Wisconsin. These new networks deliver an innovative approach to 24/7 statewide news and information for our viewers.

We also launched Spectrum News 1 in Southern California in November. Our approach in Kentucky, Ohio and Wisconsin is designed to tell statewide stories that unite viewers in each corner of these respective states, and to create content about issues that are prominent within their specific states and communities.

The network launches are part of a larger effort by Charter Communications to strengthen the individual communities we serve by recognizing that local journalism is vital.

Spectrum Networks has unique access to data and insights, more than 25 years of experience delivering local news, and technical infrastructure to help our journalists in these states gather engaging, important stories to curate and air 24-hours a day.

“Spectrum News 1 serves the greater needs of viewers in Kentucky, Ohio and Wisconsin through a statewide news format and the creation of original programming and content that is reliable, objective and relevant," said Alan Mason, Group Vice President-General Manager, Spectrum News South/Midwest.

With dedicated facilities and multimedia journalists (MMJs) across each state, viewers are getting dynamic and comprehensive statewide news, local weather, issues-based long-form programming, along with balanced political and public affairs programming. Additionally, our dedicated MMJs cover their respective state congressional delegation on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
