NEW YORK and ATLANTA – ReachTV, the largest streaming television network for travelers with 50M+ monthly viewers, and The Weather Company, the world’s most accurate weather forecaster,¹ today announced a national partnership to provide weather forecasts to travelers at ReachTV’s 90 airport locations.

As the exclusive weather provider for ReachTV, The Weather Channel, the flagship consumer brand of The Weather Company, will provide 1-minute travel forecasts customized for ReachTV’s expansive network of screens available at 2,400 airport gates and 750 airport venues including bars and restaurants.
