Weather Channel was a 24-hour interactive channel with updated New Zealand weather information operated by MetService which was broadcast on channel 098 on SKY TV. The service provided in-depth region-specific information,[1] marine reports and live satellite maps.[2]

A weather service was announced by Sky as early as April 2001, with the implementation of its Open TV interactive service by May.[3] At launch, the channel had a sponsorship agreement with AMI, which had done so for its analogue counterpart for two years.[4]
