News 12 Long Island is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1986, it employs approximately 110 individuals. The company specializes in Broadcast Media Production and Distribution.
On September 8, 2026, Connecticut’s top utility regulator sent a letter warning cable provider Optimum that it may have violated state law by not notifying the agency about job cuts to its in-house cable news channel News 12. The regulator's action raises questions about potential penalties. Previously, on August 12, 2026, a new strategic agreement restored all-news cable television channels, including News 12, to the lineups of Optimum and Charter Communications’ Spectrum systems in the New York Tri-State Area, resolving an 11-month freeze-out for the brands. This followed reports on July 16, 2026, of sweeping layoffs at News 12, which reportedly gutted newsrooms across New York and impacted dozens of journalists. Earlier, on June 4, 2026, the New York state Legislature passed legislation directly sparked by a "Turn To Tara" investigation into human trafficking. The bill, now awaiting Governor Kathy Hochul's signature, would create stiff financial penalties for hotels and motels that fail to post human trafficking hotline information as required by state law.
