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] for 27 New Zealand cities updated every few minutes, isobaric charts, weather radars,[2] marine reports and live satellite maps.[3]

The channel was announced by Sky as early as April 2001, with the implementation of its Open TV interactive service by May.[4] At launch, the channel had a sponsorship agreement with AMI, which had done so for its analogue counterpart for two years.[5]
