Southern California News 16

Southern California News 16 is a cable news television network located in Los Angeles, California. Owned by Charter Communications (through Charter's acquisition of Bright House Networks in 2016, although Bright House, in turn, acquired and absorbed LA Warner Cable in 2003), it currently serves the Los Angeles area, and the rest of the surrounding areas in Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Anaheim, Long Beach, San Luis Obispo, Irvine and Ventura County. 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 LA 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 Southern California News 16 en Espanol, Southern California on Demand, and Bright House Sports Network (now Spectrum Sports).
