What company owns both WNEU and New England Cable News channels?
New England Cable News New England Cable News (NECN) is a regional 24-hour cable news television network owned and operated by NBCUniversal (as part of the NBC Owned Television Stations division) serving the New England region of the United States. It focuses on regional news, though in some low priority timeslots, paid programming and programming from WNBC such as "Talk Stoop" and "Open House" are seen. Its main studios are located on Wells Avenue in Newton, Massachusetts (near Boston) with sister NBC O&O WBTS-LD (channel 8), but operates several news bureaus in the New England area, including Manchester, New Hampshire; Hartford, Connecticut; Worcester, Massachusetts; Portland, Maine; and Burlington, Vermont.
New England Center for Investigative Reporting The "New England Center for Investigative Reporting" (NECIR) is a nonprofit investigative newsroom housed at Boston University and the studios of WGBH News in Boston, Massachusetts. Its mission is to ensure the survival of serious, in-depth journalism in New England and across the nation and to train the next generation of investigative reporters. Founded in 2009 by veteran investigative journalists Joe Bergantino and Maggie Mulvihill, NECIR’s budget is approximately $870,000 a year. Half of that is covered by the center’s investigative reporting training programs and the sale of stories. The rest of its budget is funded by foundations, individual donors and Boston University.
