It appears that Spectrum News is going to grow its spectrum. 

Cable owner Charter runs 24-hour news channels (called Spectrum News) in five states. They are located in New York, North Carolina, Florida, Texas and Kentucky.

The channels were originally launched by Time Warner Cable, but became Charter property after the companies merged in 2016.

Now it appears that the company will be growing its news presence.

TVAnswerMan.com reports that in a memo sent to company employees on January 12, 2018, Charter CEO Tom Rutledge says five more markets served by the cable operator will get local news channels this year.

“We will also build and launch a 24-hour local news channel in Los Angeles, Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Kansas City,” Rutledge writes.

The Charter chief does not offer additional details.

While Rutledge names Kentucky as one of the markets where the cable operator will launch a 24-hour news channel, Charter already has a news channel that serves Louisville and Lexington in that state.

As for the plan to build a news channel in Los Angeles, Charter is now advertising for a vice president for Spectrum News in LA.

So get your resumes out, looks like a bunch of new jobs are going on the market.
