November 29, 2012 – Foxtel and Australian News Channel today announced that Sky News would take management and operational responsibility for The Weather Channel from 30 November 2012.
The channel will be re-launched as Sky News Weather early in 2013.
Foxtel CEO, Richard Freudenstein said, “The Weather Channel has developed a reputation as Australia’s premier weather service, it makes sense that it should come together with the nation’s most dynamic and comprehensive news service. Integration of the two services will not only improve the quality of the weather information for viewers of both channels, it will deliver The Weather Channel in a more efficient and cost effective way.”
