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 August 12, 2026, the parent companies of NY1 and News 12 agreed to a new strategic distribution deal, restoring all-news cable channels to their respective lineups and resolving an 11-month service freeze on Optimum and Charter Communications’ Spectrum systems in the New York Tri-State Area. Previously, on July 16, News 12 reportedly carried out sweeping layoffs that significantly impacted newsrooms across New York, a situation the New York Post termed an "earthquake" for local news. Earlier, on June 4, legislation directly spurred by a "Turn To Tara" investigation into human trafficking passed both houses of the New York state Legislature, advancing to Gov. Kathy Hochul's desk; the bill would create stiff financial penalties for hotels and motels failing to post human trafficking hotline information as required by state law. This followed reports on June 2 by Israeli television networks, including News 12, detailing a series of tense conversations between U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that reportedly led Washington to halt a planned Israeli strike in Beirut. In May, former News 12 Long Island reporter Amy McGorry found a living liver donor on May 5, 2026, a longtime viewer of the station who came forward after seeing coverage of McGorry's battle with two rare autoimmune liver diseases.
