News 10 Now is a 24-hour local news channel headquartered in Syracuse, New York. Their slogan is "Your news, all the time". It is owned and operated by Time Warner Cable, and is available only to its cable subscribers throughout Central New York, New York's Southern Tier, and the "North Country" in the western/northern Adirondack Region. It was the eleventh channel of this format launched by Time Warner and one of about 40 local/regional cable newschannels nationwide. It began operations in November of 2003.

Time Warner Cable invested a lot of money to launch this channel, including a $6-million restoration of Syracuse's former New York Central Rail Station. In addition to that headquarters facility, News 10 Now also bases reporters and photographers in five regional newsrooms located throughout its Central/Northern New York coverage area.

On May 25, 2005, just 18 months after debuting, Time Warner Cable announced that 30 staff positions would be eliminated in a cost-saving consolidation of its three Upstate NY news operations. All of News 10 Now's technical production and master control operations were merged with Capital News 9, its sister channel in Albany. Capital News 9 now serves as the news anchoring and production hub, while News 10 Now's six meteorologists produce weather forecasts for its sister operations in Albany and Rochester. The channels retained all their local news gathering crews, producers, facilities, and local news management.

R News (Rochester), News 10 Now and Capital News 9 also share news content with NY1, the flagship Time Warner Cable local cable news channel in New York City (which Time Warner offers to digital cable subscribers in upstate markets).

In February 2007, News 10 Now added a separate channel with news, weather and sports targeting the Binghamton and Elmira/Corning markets, with five reporters and a technician operating from new bureaus located in Binghamton and Corning. This expansion also added four additional producers at the Syracuse headquarters who work exclusively on the Southern Tier program feed. [1].

The two separate News 10 Now channels are available to about 580,000 Time Warner Cable subscribers in New York and portions of Pennsylvania's Northern Tier. This makes it one of the larger local news channels nationwide, both in terms of subscribers and geographic coverage area. The channel's website won a coveted Edward R. Murrow national "Best Website" award in 2004.

The station is the only one of the four upstate New York "News Now" channels that is not placed on channel 9 in the cable lineup. This is due to the presence of WSYR-TV in the Syracuse market, which broadcasts on channel 9. In markets where channel 10 is taken (e.g. SUNY Oswego, which has its campus-run station in that slot), News 10 Now broadcasts on channel 14, which is the same channel the other "News Now" channels use.
