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.
