CitrusTV programming is broadcast on the university campus on the Orange Television Network. Syracuse's cable television provider is [[Charter Communications|Charter Spectrum]] (Charter Communications acquired Time Warner Cable in 2016), which, as a part of its regular and digital offerings, provides a 24-hour local news channel ([[Spectrum News Central New York]]), [[public access television|public access channel]], and an additional [[PBS]] channel. Several suburbs also have access to [[Verizon Fios]] for cable television. [[Dish Network]] and [[DirecTV]] also provide local satellite television subscribers with local broadcast stations. === Newspapers === Syracuse has one major daily morning newspaper, ''[[The Post-Standard]]''. Until 2001, Syracuse also had an evening paper, ''[[The Syracuse Herald-Journal|The Herald-Journal]]''. It focuses on local news throughout Central New York, and has a reporter in Washington, DC. Before the merger with the evening paper, the ''Post-Standard'' was named among the "10 best newspapers in America with a circulation of under 100,000" by [[Al Neuharth]] of ''[[USA Today]]'' (run by a competing organization). Since the merger, circulation has increased to over 120,000. Even outside of its four-county delivery area, the paper is available in many convenience stores and supermarkets from the [[Canada–United States border|Canada–US border]] to the New York–[[Pennsylvania]] border. The newspaper partly caters to this audience as well, covering many stories from the [[Ithaca, New York|Ithaca]], [[Utica, New York|Utica]], and [[Watertown, New York|Watertown]] areas. Since opening a new printing press in 2002, the paper calls itself "America's Most Colorful Newspaper," as almost every page contains color. ''[[The Daily Orange]]'', the newspaper of [[Syracuse University]] and [[SUNY ESF]] students, is read by over 20,000 people daily, and is widely distributed in the [[University Hill, Syracuse|University Hill]] neighborhood and [[Armory Square]]. ''The Dolphin'', the weekly student newspaper of [[Le Moyne College]] is also available, read mainly by Le Moyne students. There are other popular free newspapers, including ''[[Eagle Newspapers (New York)|Eagle Newspaper]]'''s downtown edition, the ''City Eagle'', and ''Table Hopping'', which focuses on the restaurant and entertainment scene. Additionally, a weekly newspaper, CNY Vision, publishes news and information focusing on Syracuse's African American community. A Hispanic-based monthly publication, called the CNY Latino newspaper, is published in Syracuse by the CNY Latino Media Consortium in both paper and online formats, and covers an area from Rochester to Albany and Watertown to Binghamton. [[File:First copy of The Daily Orange Newspaper.pdf|thumb|[[The Daily Orange]]]] === Magazines === The Syracuse area is covered in a regional lifestyle publication called ''The Good Life, Central New York Magazine'', mostly known as ''Central New York Magazine''. The magazine is bi-monthly (six issues per year) and offers print + digital and digital only subscriptions; it covers the greater Syracuse and Central New York area. Central New York Magazine premiered in May 2006 and tells "positive and uniquely CNY stories." Coverage areas include local shops and small businesses, regional travel destinations, food and drink, home décor, attractions and things to do, artisans, changemakers, and area trends.
