Outlet track record
The Weather Channel
U.S. center, science-oriented
The Weather Channel's television network is owned by Byron Allen's Allen Media Group, which purchased it in 2018 for $300 million; its digital arm is separately owned by private equity firm Francisco Partners. The channel is not politically partisan but has an established editorial commitment to climate science, and its coverage of Trump administration policies — including deep budget cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service — has been largely critical of those actions. It is primarily a weather and environmental science outlet rather than a general news organization.
Owned byTV network owned by Allen Media Group, a privately held company controlled by media entrepreneur Byron Allen. Digital properties (weather.com, mobile apps, Weather Underground) are owned by The Weather Company, a standalone company under private equity firm Francisco Partners since 2024.
