NY1 is owned and operated by Time Warner Cable
(TWC).

(with a 4:3 aspect ratio) and on channel 701 in high definition
(with a 16:9 aspect ratio).

at 460 West 42nd Street
in the Manhattan
borough of New York City under the guidance of Paul Sagan, NY1's vice president of news, and Steve Paulus, NY1's news director. Construction of the 42nd Street facility was completed on July 15, but the channel's newly hired reporters actually began work a month earlier by attending a videojournalism "boot camp". While some of the reporters had used their own cameras in other markets, most had had no exposure to the technical side of journalism. Following their training, the reporters and the rest of the staff took part in an additional two-month training period that included four weeks of real-time rehearsal. A watershed event came in the final weeks of training, with the collapse of a former post-office
building on Manhattan's West Side
. Although the channel was not yet on the air, NY1 reporters covered the story as if the channel was fully operational, interviewing survivors and witnesses and reporting the story more fully than competing television outlets.
Following the September 11, 2001, attacks of the World Trade Center
in New York City, NY1's signal was temporarily broadcast internationally to all subscribers of the Oxygen
cable-television channel after Oxygen could not broadcast from its studios in the Battery Park City Manhattan neighborhood near the World Trade Center.
In 2001, TWC began offering NY1 to digital-cable
subscribers in the Albany
, New York, market, with other markets following soon thereafter.
In January 2002, the station moved to a new, all-digital facility at the Chelsea Market
, 75 Ninth Avenue (between West 15th-16th Streets) in the Chelsea
neighborhood of Manhattan.
On June 30, 2003, NY1 Noticias
, a Spanish-language
version of the channel, began operating for digital-cable subscribers.
In late 2005, NY1 launched a video-on-demand
service for its TWC customers. NY1 on Demand is on Channel 1110 in the TWC-New York City system.
In 2008, NY1 launched a high-definition
channel on Channel 701, although it was aired only in a pillarbox format (i.e., 4:3 aspect ratio picture with side pillars of NY1 logo) until migrating to a full 16:9 aspect ratio in October 2009.
Two other channels, News 24 Houston
and News 9 San Antonio
, both joint ventures between TWC and Belo
, were closed within the first two years of operation.
. Nearly all stories are pre-recorded, even segments made to look like they are happening live; instead of a "live" indicator while reporters speak, most NY1 stories have a graphic saying merely that the reporter is (or, rather, was) "on scene". This is because when the report first aired, it may have been live but is usually not once re-aired, unless it updates breaking news
. Moreover, reporters generally shoot their own stories with video-camera, and take them back to the newsroom to be edited into the broadcast rotation.
Sports reports are featured throughout the day, while a one-hour call-in sports show, Sports on 1: The Last Word, is featured every night at 11:35 p.m.
In an effort to compete with local late-night newscasts, on January 22, 2007, NY1 introduced its own 11 p.m. newscast, News At 11. The newscast is anchored
