Blip: NY1 News to Get a New Name

New York City's local news channel NY1 just became a casualty in Time Warner’s battle with Verizon Fios.

Top brass at Time Warner want you to know that they own NY1 — and when consumers switch to a rival like Verizon they will lose the news channel. To hammer home that point, NY1 will undergo a “rebranding” and name change to TWC News.
