Weather Channel First Broadcast

(1/1)

albanystorms:
I hope some weather people can help me out on this. I saw on YouTube a few years ago The Weather Channels first broadcast that they did. It had a shot from Vegas with the introduction and all I want to say it was an hour long or something. I can seem to find this video it was most likely pulled for contentid or something. Anyone have another copy of that video?

Just an interesting couple of facts about the Weather Channel. When I lived in Atlanta working for Cisco Systems, The Weather Channel was one of my customers. The first time I went to their office. I thought I was lost. I expected big signs saying "The Weather Channel" like I was used to seeing at "CNN", also a customer. The building is completely unmarked with the exception of a very subdued street number. When I asked about this I was told that their female on air talent have a bit of a following of creepy men. They try to keep their exact location a mystery to discourage would be stalkers.

Also, the CIO at the time held a number of Patents for methods of reporting weather over the internet. He was a pretty cool dude.
