is time warner the same as time warner cable
Time Warner Cable It was controlled by Warner Communications, then by Time Warner (the film and television production company and cable channel operator). That company spun off the cable operations in March 2009 as part of a larger restructuring. From 2009 to 2016, Time Warner Cable was an entirely independent company, continuing to use the Time Warner name under license from its former parent (including the "Road Runner" name for its Internet service, now Spectrum Internet).
News 12 Networks The networks are carried by Altice's Optimum systems throughout the region (except for certain systems in Dutchess, Orange, and Putnam counties in New York, and Litchfield Count in Connecticut); these systems were originally owned by Dolan-owned Cablevision before being spun off to Altice. Since the sale, News 12 networks are also available on most Charter Communications, Comcast, and Service Electric systems in the Tri-State area (in the case of Charter, this is part of a cross-provider agreement that also allows Charter's 24-hour local news channel, NY1, to be seen on Altice providers). However, none of the channels are available on Verizon FiOS (which offers a competing FiOS 1 service) or satellite providers DirecTV or Dish Network; this is referenced in the slogan used by the networks, "Only on cable. Never on FiOS. Never on satellite." Although the seven channels have individual and unique news operations, they share the same mission, graphics, and music packages.
