News 12 Long Island holds its place in history as 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. Today the award winning service, continues on its mission to give Nassau and Suffolk counties local news, weather, information, traffic, politics, sports, and more—content not available on the New York city broadcast channel’s newscasts.
News 12 Long Island was the springboard for the News 12 Networks, the New York tri-state leader in hyper-local content - providing Long Island’s model to 6 additional unique local areas, all within the #1 television DMA: New Jersey, Westchester, the Bronx, Brooklyn, the Hudson Valley (Rockland and Orange Counties), and Connecticut.
An award-winning service, beloved by its customers, and tops in viewership metrics, News 12 Networks is more relevant than ever. Proudly affiliated with Optimum, Charter, Comcast, and Service Electric, the cable-exclusive 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.
