New York One, Time Warner’s 24-hour cable news channel, has kept a pulse on major events in the city since 1992. Over the years, the programs on the local channel have become a junket for national audiences, too, offering a look into the city’s daily machinations that go on to change the nation, and even […]
NY1 news heroes Pat Kiernan and Roger Clark just got finished reporting live from the Halloween Day Parade. They were dressed as sailors from Broadway musical On the Town and towards the end of the broadcast, the duo attempted to sing “New York, New York” — the Leonard Bernstein version, not the Sinatra one — […]
It’s not easy to rattle Pat Kiernan, but this morning, the news anchor was particularly incensed at the New York Times for failing to mention NY1 in their coverage of last night’s state comptroller debate that was produced by the local news network. And apparently this isn’t the first time that the paper of record […]
Here’s a “tribute to everyone’s favorite New Yorkers – Roger Clark and Pat Kiernan of NY1,” exclaimed punk band The Tracys. It’s a happy little tune about the newsmen’s on-air camaraderie — “Roger’s got the microphone/What’s he gonna do?/Pat is gonna have to see this through” — and even shouts out transit reporter Jamie Stetler (formerly “Shupak!”).

Michael Grimm, who threatened to throw NY1 reporter Michael Scotto “off this fucking balcony” after Scotto attempted to ask a question about Grimm’s shady campaign finances. “To be fair, ‘I […]
The most exciting part of last night’s State of the Union broadcast came after the speech itself, on NY1. During a post-SOTU interview, reporter Michael Scotto asked Staten Island Republican Rep. Michael Grimm a question regarding his campaign finances, which are currently under federal investigation. Grimm didn’t like that, and stormed off. The action started when […]
Yesterday, an ad backed by a coalition of liberal groups that paints City Council Speaker and mayoral candidate Christine Quinn as duplicitous and with ties to big business premiered on NY1, MSNBC, and Cablevision. Today, an outraged Quinn decried the attack ad as false, and her legal team contacted Time Warner Cable to have the ads […]
In an effort to remind you that NY1 is in fact owned by and exclusively available through Time Warner Cable, the telecom company will change the name of the iconic 21-year-old news channel, possibly to TWC News. The station will also “receive an extensive makeover, including new logos, graphics and theme music,” according to the Daily […]
