News 12 reached a new distribution agreement on August 12, 2026, which will restore its all-news cable television channels to Optimum and Charter Communications’ Spectrum systems in the New York Tri-State Area, resolving an 11-month freeze-out. This follows reports on July 16 that News 12 conducted sweeping layoffs, significantly impacting its newsrooms across New York. Earlier, on June 4, the New York state Legislature passed a human trafficking bill, sending it to Gov. Kathy Hochul for signature. This legislation, designed to create stiff financial penalties for hotels and motels failing to post hotline information, originated from a "Turn To Tara" investigation by News 12. In May 2026, former News 12 Long Island reporter Amy McGorry found a living liver donor, a longtime viewer who responded to coverage of her battle with two rare autoimmune liver diseases.
