                     HONORING YOUR NEWS NOW ``YNN''

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CHRISTOPHER P. GIBSON

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 11, 2012

  Mr. GIBSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Your News Now ``YNN,'' 
a local 24-hour news channel exclusively provided seven days a week by 
Time Warner Cable. Serving the State of New York, YNN is celebrating 
its 10th Anniversary.
  Across Upstate New York, my constituents rely on YNN for their local 
news. Since its debut, YNN has provided in-depth coverage of national, 
state, and local new stories, community events, high school sports, and 
weather forecasting. This has allowed New Yorkers the ability to access 
local news coverage regardless of the time of day.
  YNN also provides the only statewide political program, ``Capital 
Tonight,'' covering the State Capitol, U.S. Capitol, and political news 
from across the Empire State each weekday evening.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the commitment Time Warner 
and YNN have made to ensuring quality local news programming throughout 
New York State. As Thomas Jefferson once said, ``Whenever the people 
are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.'' YNN 
is an important part of this effort for my constituents in the 20th 
District of New York and across our state, and I congratulate them on 
their 10th Anniversary.

                          ____________________
