TW3 (Albany, New York)

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.
