News 12 the Bronx is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1998, it employs approximately 40 individuals. The company specializes in broadcast media production and distribution.
On August 12, 2026, the parent companies of NY1 News 12 finalized a new strategic agreement, restoring all-news cable television channels to Optimum and Charter Communications’ Spectrum systems in the New York Tri-State Area and resolving an 11-month service freeze-out. This followed reports on July 16 that News 12 conducted sweeping layoffs, which the New York Post described as an "earthquake," gutting newsrooms across New York and affecting dozens of journalists. Earlier, on June 4, legislation sparked by a "Turn To Tara" investigation into human trafficking passed both houses of the New York state Legislature, heading to the governor’s desk. The bill proposes stiff financial penalties for hotels and motels that do not post required human trafficking hotline information. On May 5, a longtime viewer donated a life-saving liver to former News 12 Long Island reporter Amy McGorry, who battled two rare autoimmune liver diseases, after seeing coverage of her appeal.
