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:
“To treat a “big” subject in the intensely summarized fashion demanded by an evening’s traffic of the stage when the evening, freely clipped at each end, is reduced to two hours and a half, is a feat of which the difficulty looms large.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Family values are a little like family vacations—subject to changeable weather and remembered more fondly with the passage of time. Though it rained all week at the beach, it’s often the momentary rainbows that we remember.”
—Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)
