Item Description

You're bidding on a personal tour package of the New England Cable News (NECN) studios in Needham, MA for up to 10 people, hosted by Matt Noyes or Danielle Niles, both meteorologists for the network.

See the studio, behind-the-scenes and, of course, the weather center and "green screen" weather wall!  See what it takes for NECN to be the largest 24-hour regional news network in the country, specializing in long-form journalism and serving more than 3.6 million subscribers in more than 1,050 cities and towns in all six New England states.

Launched on March 2, 1992, NECN is owned by Comcast Corporation. NECN is available exclusively to New England cable subscribers, providing 24-hour access to breaking news, sports, weather, and traffic.

NECN serves all six New England states including Rhode Island where it is available on the Verizon FiOS network. The network broadcasts from its studios in Newton, Massachusetts and maintains bureaus in Manchester, New Hampshire; Hartford, Connecticut; Worcester, Massachusetts; Portland, Maine; and Burlington, Vermont.

NECN is distinguished as a leader in the industry, having received several awards for broadcast journalism excellence. NECN is the only cable television news station to earn a George Foster Peabody Award and the Alfred I. duPont - Columbia University Broadcast Journalism Award. The news channel was twice named News Station of the Year by the Associated Press, and was named Television Station of the Year by the Gabriel Awards three times, twice consecutively. Other honors include a Scripps Howard National Journalism Award, and most recently, a National Edward R. Murrow Award for the station's documentary work.
