Hampton Roads News 30

Hampton Roads News 30 (also officially known as Spectrum Hampton Roads News 30 as of September 24, 2017) is a cable news television network located in Hampton Roads region of Virginia. Owned by Charter Communications (through Charter's acquisition of Bright House Networks in 2016, although Bright House, in turn, acquired and absorbed Hampton Warner Cable in 2003), it currently serves the Norfolk/Portsmouth/Newport News/Virginia Beach area 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 Hampton 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 Hampton Roads News 30 en Espanol, Hampton Roads on Demand, and Bright House Sports Network (now Spectrum Sports).
