MétéoMédia is a 24 hour Canadian French language cable television specialty channel and web site, which provides accurate weather information 24 hours a day. It primarily serves viewers in Quebec, although some cable TV systems in Ontario and New Brunswick carry the channel as well. It is available nation-wide via satellite as well. It is a sister station to its English language counterpart, The Weather Network. MétéoMédia went on the air along with The Weather Network for the first time on September 1, 1988.
Both MétéoMedia and The Weather Network are owned by Pelmorex (in turn half-owned by The Weather Channel in the U.S.). The two originally shared an analogue transponder on one of the Anik satellites, with computer-generated local forecasts airing on one while the video feed of a live forecaster or TV commercials aired on the other.
MétéoMedia has a separate feed for the Montreal area.
