News 12 New York Live - NY, USA

News 12 is a regional 24/7 cable news network serving the New York tri-state area, covering breaking news, local stories, and weather across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut from its base in Edison, New Jersey. Launched in 1986 on Long Island, News 12 was one of the first local 24-hour cable news channels in the United States and now operates eight separate regional feeds across the tri-state area.

The network covers one of the most densely populated media markets in the world, serving a combined population of over 20 million people across the three states. News 12 is owned by Optimum, the cable provider operating across the New York metro area, and reaches subscribers exclusively through cable rather than over-the-air broadcast.

The tri-state coverage area includes New York City, the most populous city in the United States with 8.3 million residents, alongside major New Jersey cities including Newark, Jersey City, and Trenton, and Connecticut's Fairfield and New Haven counties which form part of the greater New York commuter belt.
