Weather Center (1998)
Encyclopedia
Weather Center was a news
/weather
program produced by The Weather Channel in Atlanta, Georgia
. Initially, Weather Center was the lone news program for The Weather Channel. By 2000, the show had started being significantly pared down. By the end of 2008, Weather Center only aired for one hour a day during the week and two hours on weekends.
WeatherScope was renamed Weather Center on March 10, 1998. The show continued to be the bulk of the channel's schedule, running for the entire program day (excluding the 30-minute overnight The Weather Classroom
program for Cable in the Classroom
). TWC's meteorologists would show weather forecasts and current conditions around the United States
as well as international forecasts. From its debut in 1998 through early 2000, the program was divided into 3 blocks: Weather Center AM, Weather Center, and Weather Center PM. In February 2000, much of Weather Center AM was replaced with First Outlook
and Your Weather Today
. In April 2001, Weekend Now replaced the entire Weather Center AM block on weekends. A revamp of the channel's presentation in June 2001 dropped the "AM/PM" distinction; this revamp also saw a slew of programs to erode the Weather Center evening and weekend time slots; by 2008, only one hour remained.
On March 1, 2009, the original Weather Center was discontinued and a new program with the same title debuted with an entirely different format.

History
In 1995, The Weather Channel introduced WeatherScope, programming on an hourly "wheel" format. WeatherScope was carried through the 1996 channel redesign. In its early days (before 1996), WeatherScope This Morning was a morning version, differing only in presentation. In 1997, the weather wheel system was retooled with a new TWC programming schedule.The Weather Classroom
