DISH Network Enhances Interactive Weather Channel Service

EchoStar Communication Corporation’s DISH Network and The Weather Channel recently announced that they are offering enhancements to their interactive television (iTV) service. DISH Network subscribers that view The Weather Channel will now have access to extensive local and national weather information, including current conditions, 24-hour and 5-day forecasts, and Doppler radar. The iTV service also allows viewers to access national weather forecasts and save up to 5 favorite locations for quick access. Viewers previously could only access interactive features and weather warnings through DishHOME channel 100.

Becky Powhatan, executive vice president of distribution and business affairs for The Weather Channel, said:

The innovative iTV application for local weather for DISH Network customers enables The Weather Channel to provide viewers with truly personalized weather forecasts that give customized, targeted information to help them plan their day. And now it’s become even easier and faster to obtain.

The Weather Channel is available to DISH Network subscribers on channel 214.
