The Weather Channel

The Weather Channel is a prominent American weather television network and digital information provider. Originally founded by John Coleman and Frank Batten in 1982, it revolutionized how weather updates were delivered to consumers through continuous broadcasting and innovative data visualization.

Over the decades, the brand has been split into two distinct entities. The television network is currently owned by Entertainment Studios (Allen Media Group), while the digital assets, including the website and mobile application, were acquired by IBM and subsequently sold to Francisco Partners. This dual-ownership structure allows the brand to maintain a leading presence across both traditional broadcast and modern digital platforms.

The global headquarters and primary production facilities are located in Atlanta, Georgia. From this hub, the brand manages its meteorological data analysis and media production, serving millions of users worldwide with critical weather-related safety information and forecasts.
