News 42 Indianapolis

News 42 Indianapolis (also officially known as Spectrum News 42 as of September 24, 2017) is a cable news television network located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Owned by Charter Communications (through Charter's acquisition of Bright House Networks in 2016, although Bright House, in turn, acquired and absored Indy Warner Cable in 2003), it currently serves the Indianapolis/Kokomo areas competing with Silver Cable's Indy's News 4. 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 Indy 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 News 42 Indianapolis en Espanol, Indianapolis on Demand, and Bright House Sports Network (now Spectrum Sports).
