We’ve Just Launched 26 Local Channels for Our iOS/TWCTV.com Apps in NYC

We launched our iPad app roughly one year ago, to great acclaim. You guys seem to love this thing, and we’re glad for it. But the one of the biggest questions we’ve heard is “Why can’t I get local channels on this thing?”

I’ve got some good news here — even better news if you’re a TWC TV user in the New York City area:

As of today, we are launching 26 new local channels for the TWC TV for iPad/iPhone app and TWCTV.com in New York City. Here’s a list:

WCBS HDTV (CBS)
WNBC HDTV (NBC)
NBC NY Nonstop
WNYW HD (Fox)
WABC HDTV (ABC)
Live Well HD
WABC News Now
WWOR HD (My9)
WPIX-HD (PIX11)
WPXN HD (ION)
WXTV HD (Univision)
WFUT HD (Telefutura)
WNJU HD (Telemundo)
WFME
WLIW (PBS)
World
WLNY (TV 10/55)
WMBC
WNJN HD (or WNJB or NJN1) – PBS
WNYE (NYC TV Life)
WRNN
WNET (Thirteen HD)
V-ME
Create
Kids13
Rise (Al Jazeera)

We are working to bring local channels to a few more of our markets by the end of the year — unfortunately, I don’t have anything more specific than that. Once I know channels, markets, and time frame, I’ll let everyone know right here.

Now this is good news!! Too bad we can’t “take it to go” (a la Aereo.com) or stream our DVR’ed content.

Please bring local channels to the Piedmont/Triad area of North Carolina! I saw the PDF file a couple of days ago that listed the new channels and was disappointed to find our that it was only for New York!

I have TWC, but phone a Internet. Not tv. Will I be able to access the local channels as well?

Looks like I have to move back to NYC–first Aereo–now TWC allows local TV streams —NYC is becoming the new tech capital.

Can TWC customers with only Basic Cable be able to access this new feature? Unemployment has forced me to scale back to Basic.

When will analog cable be shut down in NYC and when will the free QAM converter boxes be available in the NYC systems? IIRC you have started this in Maine and some other places.

TWC TV is not available for those of us with Basic service. I’m currently unemployed and had to cut by service back to the Basic Service only, but would like to have TWC TV.

You would have to have our standard cable TV package that includes these channels. For a list check out our web page at http://www.timewarnercable.com/nynj/support/clu/clu.ashx
