The Weather Channel (TWC) is an American pay television channel owned by Weather Group, LLC, a subsidiary of Allen Media Group.[2][3] The channel's headquarters are located in Atlanta, Georgia. Launched on May 2, 1982, the channel broadcasts weather forecasts and weather-related news and analysis, along with documentaries and entertainment programming related to weather. A sister network, Weatherscan, was a digital cable and satellite service that offered 24-hour automated local forecasts and radar imagery. Weatherscan was officially shut down on December 12, 2022.[4] The Weather Channel also produces outsourced weathercasts, notably for CBS News and RFD-TV.[5][6]
As of November 2023[update], the Weather Channel is available to approximately 68 million pay television households in the United States-down from its 2013 peak of 101 million households.[7] Its influence continues to decline with growing access to smartphones and online sources.
In August 2023, it was announced that IBM was selling the Weather Company and its assets to the Francisco Partners.[8]
