TW3 was a cable television network owned by Time Warner Cable. It was carried on Time Warner Cable systems in the Capital District of New York and that area's suburbs including Saratoga County, the southern Adirondack region, the Mohawk Valley, and most of Berkshire County, Massachusetts. TW3 was formed in October 2002 as the improved successor to Time Warner 9, a similar station that was succeeded on the Time Warner lineup by sister station Capital News 9 and taking over the channel 3 position which had been pay-per-view previews. On most of Time Warner's Albany-area systems, TW3 occupied the channel 3 position though there were several exceptions, namely former Adelphia systems or systems where an "actual" channel 3 (WCAX in Burlington, Vermont or WFSB in Hartford, Connecticut) has that channel position. Those systems are: Pittsfield, Massachusetts: Channel 11 Ticonderoga, New York (Port Henry/Crown Point) and Schroon Lake, New York: Channel 14 North Adams, Massachusetts (ex-Adelphia): Channel 21 Canajoharie, New York, Queensbury, New York, and Lee, Massachusetts (Lenox/Great Barrington) (all ex-Adelphia): Channel 96 It was never an over the air station, just a program source carried by Time Warner. Programming Much of TW3's programming was locally originated. The more notable series produced for the station were as follows: A simulcast of WAMC's The Round Table (Weekdays 9 a.m.–noon) Saints Alive: A magazine show profiling Siena College athletics, hosted by Capital News 9 sports director Damian Andrew. Hoop Games: A magazine show on University at Albany men's and women's basketball, hosted by UAlbany broadcaster and WNYT sports director Rodger Wyland. Masterminds: A College Bowl formatted quiz show produced in conjunction with BOCES. Tech Valley Report: A local business program focusing on the technology sector, produced in part with the Albany-Colonie Chamber of Commerce. In & Around Our Towns: A series of insertials that profile aspects of area towns which also airs as a monthly program. Capital Tonight: TW3 airs replays of the week-in-review version of the Capital News 9-produced nightly political program. This arrangement dates back to when the show was a weekly program. TW3 also served as the Albany-area affiliate of the SUNY-owned New York Network, the Educational-access television programming of which aired mostly during daytime hours though their Regents review specials often end up in primetime.
