The Weather Channel Was the #1 Cable Television Network When Hurricane Helene Made Landfall in Florida
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Throughout its coverage tracking Hurricane Helene, more viewers chose The Weather Channel over any other television network for on-the-ground coverage and real time updates, delivering on its mission to keep viewers safe and informed. The Weather Channel and The Weather Channel en Español had 12 teams on the ground, covering impacted areas first-hand in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.
When Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida last Thursday evening, The Weather Channel delivered over 1.75 million viewers during its most watched hour and was the #1 cable television network for the day (P25-54). The Weather Channel is continuing its field coverage in the wake of Helene as communities assess the storm’s damage and prepare to rebuild.
The network also activated Flood FX, part of its Emmy award winning immersive mixed reality (IMR) technology products to help viewers stay informed of Helene’s projected path and take appropriate action on the forecasted storm surge. The Weather Channel recently won the 2024 News and Documentary Emmy for Outstanding Technical Excellence in News for its Flood FX technology and its coverage of Hurricane Idalia.
