In addition, the station will probably contract with Time Warner to coordinate advertising sales through the cable operator's existing ad department, Crew says. The people are interested and active in their community, and the business and advertising communities are open and supportive of new ventures. The fantastic growth Houston is experiencing right now also creates a need for even more news and information. N.C. The San Antonio station is slated to go live sometime next year, after the Houston channel is launched. A general manager has yet to be hired for that location, according to Aaronson, who says the reason for the launch is to give viewers a wider variety of local news.
Cable is a local business.
Time Warner is comprised of 40 local divisions. Because it's 24 hours a day, there's no pandering to the lowest common denominator. As part of the deal, Time Warner will continue to distribute Belo's Dallas-based Texas Cable News, a statewide cable news channel. In Houston, TXCN airs on Channel 230 on Time Warner's digital tiers only.
