The Weather Channel
Since 1982, The Weather Channel has brought timely weather information
to the world. Beginning as a 24-hour, 7 day television network devoted
entirely to weather, it has expanded across several mediums to bring the
breaking weather to its viewers and users.
Information from the National Weather Service, such as severe weather
alerts and current conditions, is transmitted to custom equipment at
each cable location, as are thousands of customized weather forecasts
prepared by The Weather Channel meteorologists.
Internet - Consistently rated in the Top Five for News, Entertainment,
and Information web sites by Media Metrix (formerly PC Meter), our
Internet web site at www.weather.com features current conditions and
forecasts for over 77,000 locations worldwide, along with local and
regional radars. |
Internet Weather - AccuWeather
was first granted internet access in 1992, back when, in order to
gain access, we first had to get letters of support from some of our
federal government customers. We began to offer weather information over
the internet in 1995, selling content to internet sites with the
development of the AccuNet® and netWeather™ Internet services.
Wireless Weather - In 1997, AccuWeather introduced WeatherPager®, an
alert service issued to pagers. AccuWeather continued to expand its
offerings in the arena of proactive electronic notification with the
addition of AccuWeather.com Alert™ [link to Alert pg.] email services in
2001.
AccuWeather began service to PDAs and cell phones in 2002 and, in 2003,
AccuWeather's graphical weather content for wireless devices won the
"Best of Show" award at Internet World Essentials. |
Who is Intellicast? -
Intellicast is a business unit within WSI, Weather Services
International. Intellicast was started in 1996. Soon after the release
of the intellicast.com web site, we launched the Intellicast Content
Syndication business when we started to receive requests from companies
that wanted to include the same quality maps and data on their own web
sites.
Who is WSI? - Wherever you are on earth, WSI plays a role in your life.
WSI's mission is to detect, forecast, and depict disruptive weather. It
is the ultimate local news story. Fresh and vital every day, each one of
us tunes in for the report that will affect our commute, our weekend,
even what we'll wear. No wonder WSI is the choice of more media
companies than any other weather vendor around the world. But like the
weather itself, our activity goes well beyond what you can see on
television. Entire regions of the country rely on our Energy Division
for the long-range forecasts that enable them to prepare for their
seasonal power needs months in advance. And you depend on our Aviation
Division for pinpoint accuracy in detecting wind shear and other
phenomenon every time you board an airplane. Wherever life and capital
are at stake, WSI is the leader in providing protection against
disruptive weather. |
