Make Spectrum News NY1 update its promo content and commercial breaks

The Issue

Spectrum News NY1 has not change in promo content in commercial breaks in ages. New Yorkers deserve better. Thousands of households in New York City are served by Spectrum cable service and we are all forced to watch and re-watch the same content in a repetitive loop of 30min each. This situation is becoming more visible and affecting more New Yorkers with the social isolation and lockdowns measures effective during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is important for New Yorkers to have better promotional content in order to keep us engaged in the latest updates of the Covid-19 outbreak. A powerful company such as Charter Communications, owner of Spectrum, has the resources to perform periodic and in-depth updates of its promotional content and they should be held accountable for the sanity of their viewers. Not to mention that the reputations of its news anchors are also in play (It’s excruciating to watch the same short promo profiles where this characters share their passion and “deep” community ties, over and over again). Last but not least, if Spectrum will not improve its broadband connectivity throughout the City and the State, the least we can get is better and more well-curated promo content (even paid advertising would be a welcome relief!). Thanks!
