We've upgraded NY1.com to include expanded content for Time Warner Cable customers and those who receive NY1 from other providers – and more new features are on the way. Want more information? Have a problem with the enhanced site? Here are the answers.General Information
What's the story behind this upgrade?
The websites for Time Warner Cable's 24-hour news channels – including NY1 News, NY1 Noticias, YNN, and News 14 Carolina – have expanded to offer new features for Time Warner Cable customers who subscribe to TWC video (TV) service.
The expanded video content includes full episodes of The Call, NY1's interactive nightly newscast; full episodes of Talking Pictures On Demand, our weekly movie review program; and exclusive web-only videos including long-form interviews and extended on-location footage. Soon, Time Warner Cable TV subscribers will be able to comment on our articles and receive e-mail alerts for top news stories.
In order to access our full, enhanced site, Time Warner Cable customers must sign in to NY1.com using their Time Warner Cable username and password – the same ID used to access TWC's online bill pay service, stream TV shows from WatchESPN and HBO GO, access the TWC TV mobile apps, and use Remote DVR manager, Phone Manager, and other TWC services.This ID is free of charge to all TWC TV subscribers, and there is no additional charge for the enhanced website content. However TWC subscribers with only high-speed data or phone service will need to upgrade to a video subscription to be able to fully access the upgraded site.
Those without a TWC ID can access a lite version of the site, which does not include video or other exclusive features.
Customers of Cablevision who receive NY1 News on their cable line-up have automatic access to our site's video clips as they always have, without having to sign in.
If you've already set up your TWC ID, you're all ready to access the enhanced NY1.com. If not, you can register for your TWC ID by following the instructions below.
How do I sign in for full site access?
To access the full site, you must sign in with your Time Warner Cable username and password. This is the same username and password used to access TWC's online bill pay service, stream TV shows from WatchESPN and HBO GO, access the TWC TV mobile apps, and use Remote DVR manager, Phone Manager, and other TWC services.
If you haven't set up your Time Warner Cable username and password yet, you can easily do so on the TWC Registration Page by entering your e-mail address and following the registration instructions.
Once you have a Time Warner Cable username and password, you can sign in from any page on the site by clicking on the words "Sign In Here" near the top of the page.
The full news channel sites are only available to Time Warner Cable customers who subscribe to TWC's video services. This means that TWC customers who have only high-speed data or phone service must upgrade to a video subscription to be able to fully access the upgraded sites. You can order TWC video service on the Time Warner Cable Ordering Page.
What if I'm a Cablevision subscriber?
Customers of Cablevision who receive NY1 News on their cable line-up have automatic access to our site's video clips as they always have, without having to sign in. Just look for the blue box that says "You're viewing an enhanced version of NY1.com" on any story page – that's the indication that you have access to our video clips. If you're a Cablevision subscriber but you don't see the blue box, please see the troubleshooting section below.

Troubleshooting
When I go to sign in, I get a message saying "Your Time Warner Cable subscription does not currently include access to this programming."
First make sure that you subscribe to TWC's video (TV) services. If you're a TWC customer who has only high-speed data or phone service, you must upgrade to a video subscription to be able to fully access the upgraded sites. You can order TWC video service on the Time Warner Cable Ordering Page.
I subscribe to Time Warner Cable video service, but I'm still having trouble signing in.

I'm a Cablevision subscriber but I'm still being asked to sign in.
Customers of Cablevision who receive NY1 News on their cable line-up should have automatic access to our site's video clips without having to sign in. If you're seeing the large introductory pop-up box when you try to access the site, try dismissing it by clicking "Proceed to the lite NY1.com site" and look for the blue box that says "You're viewing an enhanced version of NY1.com" on any story page – that's the indication that you have access to our video clips.
If you see a yellow "lite version" box instead of the blue box – or if the large introductory pop-up box keep reappearing – please send an e-mail describing the problem to support@ynn.com.
