San Diego News 13

San Diego News 13 (also officially known as Spectrum San Diego News 13 as of September 24, 2017) is a cable news television network located in San Diego, California. Owned by Charter Communications (through Charter's acquisition of Bright House Networks in 2016, although Bright House, in turn, acquired and absored Baja Warner Cable in 2003), it currently serves the San Diego area, including the city of Oceanside, the Mexican cities of Tijuana, Baja California and the rest of the surrounding areas. The station, which is exclusive to Charter Spectrum customers, broadcasts news 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the exception of some special programming, including a weekly political program, Political Connections.
The station was created for Baja Warner Cable by Elliott Wiser, who was hired as General Manager by Time Warner Cable in May 1997. At that time Time Warner was building a similar news channel in Orlando-Central Florida News 13. Wiser later created San Diego News 13 en Espanol, San Diego on Demand, and Bright House Sports Network (now Spectrum Sports).
