Scranton/Wilkes-Barre News 12

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre News 12 is a cable news television network located in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Owned by Charter Communications (through Charter's acquisition of Bright House Networks in 2016, although Bright House, in turn, acquired and absored Time Warner Cable Miami in 2003), it currently serves the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area including Williamsport and the rest of the surrounding areas. The station, which is exclusive to Charter Spectrum customers, broadcasts news 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the exception of some special programming, including a weekly political program, Political Connections.

The station was created for Time Warner Cable Miami by Elliott Wiser, who was hired as General Manager by Time Warner Cable in May 1997. At that time Time Warner was building a similar news channel in Orlando-Central Florida News 13. Wiser later created Scranton/Wilkes-Barre News 12 en Espanol, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Demand, and Bright House Sports Network (now Spectrum Sports).
