NY1's Sweet 15
September 7, 2007

The happiest of happy birthdays to Steve Paulus and the downtown denizens NY1 News, the influential New York cable channel that many Gothamites can't seem to start their day without. NY1 turns 15 today, and celebrates in style. At 9 p.m. it airs NY1 Making History, an hour special covering 1992-1993 (if I remember that year in New York correctly, NYPD Blue was shooting on 5th Street, Kiev served up late-night pierogies, and everyone I knew could barely afford $4 pitchers at Phebe's).

Throughout today, the station is airing NY1 The Beginning segments, highlighting "how and why" Time Warner Cable launched a 24-hour news channel.

NY1 offers retrospectives throughout the weekend, then a special each month focusing on a specific year. Making History 1994 debuts October 26.

Here's the best story on NY1 you'll read all day. Yes, even better than the one on your screen right now.

This should be exciting! I missed last night's history on NY 1, but plan to catch up on the show when they re-play it this evening. I've been an avid watcher of NY1 News since moving to NYC in 1995. The station is, by far, the most reliable source of New York news - tailored for New Yorkers, by New Yorkers. I've met some of the reporters over the years while they were shooting in the streets, at events. I always feel like they are approachable, and they've never proved otherwise. Go, NY1! ...and, Happy Birthday!

Well - I moved to a part of Nj that doesn't receive Time Warner Cable and the only thing I hate about leacing work is missing the evening and late night news on NY 1. Thanksfully my job keeps the station on at all times, so I get the daytime stuff. Time Warner - when are coming out to my part of town???!!! Happy Birthday, NY 1! I taped the histry show on Demand - very cool!
