MSG Metro Traffic & Weather
MSG Metro Traffic & Weather was the first sole traffic and weather channel in the tri-state area, and while local news networks and The Weather Channel offered weather news, the traffic component was the network's main feature.
MSG Metro Traffic & Weather originally began as "News 12 Weather". In the early 90s it would air in the mornings on most Cablevision systems in place of Bravo/E! when they shared a channel on Cablevision in the Long Island area. When Optimum TV launched in 1996, it got a full time location in those areas. When the MSG Metro Channels launched in 1998, a traffic element was added to the channel and it became "MSG Metro Traffic & Weather".
Currently, MSG Metro Traffic & Weather is the only MSG Metro channel still on the air. It now goes by the name News 12 Traffic & Weather and is seen on Cablevision systems on Channel 61.

Famous quotes containing the words traffic and/or weather:
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
“When the weather is bad as it was yesterday, everybody, almost everybody, feels cross and gloomy. Our thin linen tents—about like a fish seine, the deep mud, the irregular mails, the never to-be-seen paymasters, and “the rest of mankind,” are growled about in “old-soldier” style. But a fine day like today has turned out brightens and cheers us all. We people in camp are merely big children, wayward and changeable.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
