Albany News 6

Albany News 6 (also officially known as Spectrum Albany News 6 as of September 24, 2017) is a cable news television network located in Albany, New York. Owned by Charter Communications (through Charter's acquisition of Bright House Networks in 2016, although Bright House, in turn, acquired and absorbed NY Capital District Warner Cable in 2003), it currently serves the Albany area, including the cities of Schenectady, Troy, and the rest of the surrounding areas in New York State's Capital District area. 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 NY Capital District 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 Albany News 6 en Espanol, Albany on Demand, and Bright House Sports Network (now Spectrum Sports).
