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’s something about the dead silence of an office building at night. Not quite real. The traffic down below is something that didn’t have anything to do with me.”
—John Paxton (1911–1985)
“The average Kentuckian may appear a bit confused in his knowledge of history, but he is firmly certain about current politics. Kentucky cannot claim first place in political importance, but it tops the list in its keen enjoyment of politics for its own sake. It takes the average Kentuckian only a matter of moments to dispose of the weather and personal helath, but he never tires of a political discussion.”
—For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
