The Weather Channel

Redirected from Weather Channel

The Weather Channel is a cable TV network that revolutionized the reporting of weather-related news by being on 24 hours a day. The Weather Channel went on the air in 1982 and reports the weather and other meteorological information for the United States as well as other countries and regions of the world. The Weather Channel does not gather its data directly from the National Weather Service[?], a U.S. government agency that is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The Weather Channel also uses special decoding equipment that inserts local weather forecast information if it is viewed on a cable TV system.
