MétéoMédia is a 24-hour Canadian French language Category A specialty channel and web site, which provides 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.

MétéoMedia has a separate feed for the Montreal area, much like how the English-language Weather Network has a special separate feed for the Greater Toronto Area.

Ownership

Both MétéoMedia and The Weather Network are owned by Pelmorex (in turn half-owned by The Weather Channel). 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.

On January 3, 2008, it was reported that Landmark Communications, part-owner of MétéoMédia, may be for sale.^[2] In July 2008, The Weather Channel was sold to NBC Universal and Bain Capital; the sale includes Landmark's stakes in MétéoMedia and The Weather Network.^[3]

MétéoMedia follows a schedule which repeats itself each hour, based on the current season. The spring/summer programming schedule often starts on the first Monday of April. It switches to the winter schedule on the first Monday of December. The following schedule is effective Monday, March 24, 2008.
