NorthWest Cable News is a regional 24-hour television news network based in Seattle, Washington. It is similar to New England Cable News, which operates out of the Boston area and covers the New England states.
The service is owned by Belo Corp., and operates out of the KING-TV building in Downtown Seattle.
NWCN covers news in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. It is available to 2.9 million cable users in those principal states, and, to a lesser degree, California, Alaska, and Montana.
The network uses material from co-owned stations KING, KGW in Portland, Oregon, KTVB in Boise, Idaho and KREM in Spokane, Washington. Content-sharing agreements are in place with several other stations.
The network features news and weather programming throughout the day, plus NorthWest Sports Tonight each evening, and Gardening with Ciscoe LIVE each Friday. The network re-airs Evening Magazine from sister-station KING each evening. Also from KING, High School GameTime, Up Front with Robert Mak, Gardening with Ciscoe (different from the live show) and Northwest Backroads re-air each weekend.
Some of the network's programming airs on the 24/7 Cable Channel in Boise, a division of sister KTVB.
Northwest Cable News is also available on the C-Band 4Dtv system on AMC 10, VCN 581.
