        COMMEMORATING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF TIME WARNER'S NY1

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL G. GRIMM

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 27, 2012

  Mr. GRIMM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 20th 
anniversary of Time Warner's NY1 News and honor their commitment to 
serving the people of New York City as the only city-wide 24-hour local 
news channel.
  NY1 has become a New York institution, part of the fabric of daily 
life for millions across the five boroughs of New York City. Since its 
debut on September 8, 1992, New Yorkers have come to depend on NY1's 
credible, accurate and thorough reporting on the stories and issues we 
care about.
  Born out of Time Warner Cable's commitment to providing New Yorkers 
with comprehensive information about the city in which we live, NY1 
continues to live up to the mandate to cover the stories big and small, 
the major events and breaking news as well as the neighborhood and 
community stories that make the city tick.
  New Yorkers have come to depend on NY1 to stay informed with segments 
including the NY1 Minute, In the Papers, Weather on the 1s, Rail and 
Road, and From the Floor. NY1 also offers exclusive quality programming 
such as Inside City Hall, NY1's required nightly viewing for everyone 
in the political world, or On Stage, which provides a unique 
perspective on the latest shows on Broadway. In 2003 Time Warner added 
NY1 Noticias. Modeled after NY1 News it provides a strong emphasis on 
New York City news, politics and culture from a Hispanic perspective.
  Mr. Speaker, this past September 8th, NY1 celebrated its 20th 
anniversary. Please join me in honoring Time Warner and NY1 News for 
its commitment to providing quality local news programming to New 
Yorkers whenever they want it. We should celebrate the benefits NY1's 
service provides as an indispensable community asset in New York City.
