The Weather Channel Launch - May 2, 1982 

I wish the weather channel was 24/7 again with less commercials and less shows with big machinery and plane crashes. Strangest Weather on Earth is my favorite show. 🌪

When this stated in 1982 Henry Kissinger was 59, Carol Burnett was 49, I was 46, Paul McCartney was 40, and Madonna was 24

Happy 40th Anniversary TWC!!!!! May 2, 1982 - May 2, 2022! (i was here last year and the year before and the year before that!)

27:15 When the legend was born!

It would be nice if the weather channel was 24/7 again.

Missing the original WeatherStar inserts during the local breaks after launch, and no local weather data scrolling at the bottom.

Happy late bday The Weather Channel!

At 13:01 of the video is the introduction of the Quantel Paintbox a British system for Television graphics painting.

Its great to see this. I recorded weather events for TWC in the early 90's through Simon on a Sony camera 3/4". They were fun times. Always loved TWC.

The only reason that I still watch the Weather Channel ...Jim Cantore. Interesting how the reporter said that the weather channel would never get away from their primary focus .🥺 Is that why in 2024, they have shows about salvage companies, lumberjacks, gold prospecters and air crash investigations ? What do they have to do with weather ?

Happy 38th Anniversary TWC! May 2, 1982- May 2, 2020! (i was here last year!)

Happy 38th Anniversary, few years before I was born !

I absolutely agree!!

Rest In Peace John Coleman, a true hero.

I wish the weather channel would go back to 24/7 weather and bring back the Jazz Music along with the 2 minute local forecast instead of the dumb shows but since this channel has too much shows i watch WeatherNation Fox weather and Accuweather because they are what this channel used to be with no dumb shows.

Happy 39th Anniversary TWC! May 2, 1982 - May 2, 2021! (i was here last year and the year before!)

I would give anything to take all my loved ones and rocket back in time to 1982.

Look how young everyone was then this was 3 years and 20 days older then me.

John Coleman looked so young then.
