Did you know someone reverse-engineered the Weather Channel computer system from the 80s/90s and now you can generate your own private weather channel for your location? weatherstar.netbymatt.com

This is cool and all, but it's only for the USA. :(

Well now I’m curious. Has the Weather Channel ever broadcast outside the U.S.? I’ve only ever seen them show US maps.

Yes, there were several international editions of TWC. The Weather Network in Canada still exists to this day. TWC Latin America (1996-2002) also found some success. There were also a handful of unsuccessful European versions (TWC UK, Germany, Netherlands, Italy: 1996/7-1998).

Forgot one other, there was a spiritual revival of TWC Latin America as TWC en Español in 2022. It was intended to serve the US’ Spanish speaking community that is largely underserved, but also still covered Latin America. This was short lived and died last year. Source: extreme TWC fan 😎

That sounds so cool!!!
