it originally operated from a newsroom at the national video center at 460 west 42nd street in the manhattan borough of new york city under the guidance of vice president of news paul sagan and news director steve paulus . construction of the 42nd street facility was completed just over 1 months earlier on july 15 however the channel s newly hired reporters actually began work one month beforehand by attending a videojournalism boot camp . 6 while some of ny1 s reporters had used their own cameras in other markets most of them had no exposure to the technical side of journalism . following their training the reporters and the rest of the staff took part in an additional two month training period that included four weeks of real time rehearsal . a watershed event came in the final weeks of training with the collapse of a former post office building on manhattan s west side . although the channel was not yet on the air ny1 reporters covered the story as if the channel was fully operational interviewing survivors and witnesses and reporting the story more fully than competing television outlets . 7 ny1 logo used from 2001 to 2013 . following the attack on the world trade center on september 11 2001 ny1 s feed was temporarily transmitted internationally through oxygen after the cable channel was unable to broadcast regular programming from its headquarters in the manhattan neighborhood of battery park city located near the world trade center . 8 in 2001 time warner cable began offering ny1 to digital cable subscribers in the albany market it remained on that system even after the october 2002 launch of sister cable news channel capital news 9 ; the channel was added to time warner cable systems in other markets primarily those located in upstate new york thereafter . in january 2002 the channel moved its operations to a new all digital facility on the sixth floor at chelsea market at 75 ninth avenue between west 15th 16th streets in the chelsea neighborhood of manhattan . on june 30 2003 time warner cable launched ny1 noticias a spanish language version of the channel for digital cable subscribers . in 2005 ny1 launched ny1 on demand a video on demand service for time warner cable customers available on channel 1111 in the provider s new york city system . in 2008 ny1 launched a high definition simulcast feed on time warner cable digital channel 701 although it was originally broadcast only in a pillarboxed format a center cut 4 3 picture with sidebars of the ny1 logo until the channel migrated to a full 16 9 widescreen format in october 2009 . citation needed rebranding to time warner cable news ny1 and then spectrum news ny1 edit former time warner cable news ny1 logo used from december 16 2013 to september 20 2016 on march 14 2013 time warner cable announced plans to rebrand ny1 and its other regional news channels including news 14 carolina and the your news now networks under the twc news brand by the end of the year along with the adoption of new on air logos and a standardized graphics package for each of the channels . the reasoning for the name change was due to the perception by the company that time warner cable subscribers did not know that the provider owns its regional news channels and are largely exclusive to its systems ny1 is an exception as it is also carried by cablevision in the new york city market . 9 the proposed name change for ny1 met with immediate controversy among time warner cable s subscribers due to the familiarity with the brand and dissatisfaction with the provider s service by its new york city area customers . 10 11 12 time warner cable explored the possibility of keeping the ny1 brand while also including on air references to its twc ownership in some fashion though executives confirmed that the rebranding would have no effect on the channel s news format or reporting style . 13 on november 20 time warner cable announced that it would append the time warner cable news brand to the beginning of the ny1 name while ny1 would continue to be used on air as a primary brand . 14 the revised branding as well as the new graphics and music package which included a modified version of the logo used by the channel since 2001 amended alongside the time warner cable news logo went into effect on december 16 . 15 as part of charter communications acquisition of time warner cable the time warner cable news branding was dropped on all of the network s channels including new york one and was renamed to spectrum news starting on september 20 2016 . while the ny1 name is still in use especially on air it continues to incorporate the spectrum news brand to the beginning of the ny1 name . ny1 as prototype for other time warner cable markets edit ny1 was the first regional news channel to be operated by time warner cable prior to the acquisition of charter communications ; the cable provider has since launched 24 hour news channels in several other markets that are modeled after ny1 two of which news 24 houston and news 9 san antonio both operated as joint ventures between twc and belo had shut down within their first two years of operation . in addition to the channels launched by twc the provider also acquired spectrum news rochester which debuted in 1990 as wgrc in 1995 after it assumed cable franchise rights in the rochester new york market from greater rochester cablevision . the majority of these channels as of september 20 2016 are now branded as spectrum news as part of the integration with time warner cable and charter communication s cable systems into charter spectrum . the channels include bay news 9 tampa florida debuted in 1997 news 13 orlando florida debuted in 1997 as central florida news 13 spectrum news austin austin texas debuted in 1999 as news 8 austin spectrum news capital region albany new york debuted in 2002 as capital news 9 spectrum news central new york syracuse new york debuted in 2003 as news 10 now spectrum news north carolina serving several markets in north carolina debuted in 2006 as news 14 carolina spectrum news buffalo buffalo new york debuted in 2009 as ynn buffalo format edit remote broadcast van . each half hour rolling news block starts with ny1 minute news summary . every 10 minutes on the 1 s weather on the 1s is aired featured nyc weather forecasts and followed by your traffic rush hours only to update road conditions . every weekdays ny1 features full news weather and traffic summaries from 5 00am to 7 00pm . nearly all stories are pre recorded even segments made to look like they are occurring live ; instead of a live indicator during field reports from ny1 s reporters most stories seen on the channel have an on screen graphic merely stating that the reporter is or was on scene . this is because when the report was first broadcast it may have originally been shown live but is usually not once it is re aired unless it updates a breaking news event . moreover reporters generally tape their own stories with video cameras a practice known as video journalism and send these taped reports to the newsroom to be edited for broadcast . clarification needed sports reports are featured throughout the day ;
