Owned by Charter Communications, the network is exclusive to customers of that company's Spectrum cable service in the New England region, mainly to customers west of Boston's Route 128 beltline to the New York state line.
Its creation arose out of the former news operation of the public access station Charter TV3, which was based in Worcester and will exist until October 23, 2020, along with a request from customers and politicians to provide a full-time news operation for viewers outside of the Boston television market who are traditionally unable to get televised state news outside of the two television news operations in Springfield, Massachusetts, and otherwise (especially for The Berkshires region) must watch local news from Albany, New York, which is traditionally biased towards New York State from the Albany–Schenectady–Troy, New York media market.

The show rebroadcasts at 11:00PM, 11:30PM, and 2:30AM the following morning. The 10pm News features updated LOCAL news, weather and an extended sports segment with Kevin Shea.

Charter TV3 also provides local sports coverage, including game telecasts of select Worcester Bravehearts and Pawtucket Red Sox baseball games. Charter TV3 Sports concentrates its coverage on local high school, college and professional athletics. Every weeknight, Kevin Shea and Andy Lacombe report on the latest sports news on Worcester News Tonight. Charter TV3 Sports schedules live, on-location telecasts of sporting events year-round.

The network was discontinued on October 23, 2020, as Charter expands Spectrum News 1 Massachusetts's operation further across its New England service area, with some Worcester-based programming (along with former personnel from Worcester News Tonight) already transferred onto the Spectrum News 1 schedule.
