Weather Channel Hit By Malicious Software Attack

Posted on April 19, 2019
The Weather Channel has issued an apology to viewers after going off the air yesterday morning due to what the channel calls a “malicious software attack.” The network was off air for around an hour and a half before anchors could explain what happened when they returned.

The network’s morning show “AMHQ” was due to start at 6am ET, but instead, an episode of “Heavy Rescue: 401” aired. At around 7:40am, things were up and running again, and anchors Jim Cantore and Stephanie Abrams explained the technical difficulties.

“We experienced issues with this morning’s live broadcast following a malicious software attack on the network,” the channel writes in a statement posted to Twitter. “Federal law enforcement is actively investigating the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience to viewers as we work to resolve the matter.”
