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:
“Irony, forsooth! Guard yourself, Engineer, from the sort of irony that thrives up here; guard yourself altogether from taking on their mental attitude! Where irony is not a direct and classic device of oratory, not for a moment equivocal to a healthy mind, it makes for depravity, it becomes a drawback to civilization, an unclean traffic with the forces of reaction, vice and materialism.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“What
One believes is what matters. Ecstatic identities
Between one’s self and the weather and the things
Of the weather are the belief in one’s element,
The casual reunions, the long-pondered
Surrenders, the repeated sayings that
There is nothing more and that it is enough....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
