When did you start watching The Weather Channel?

It was 1990 for me.  I still remember when TWC covered Hurricane Andrew.

I remember Mike Seidel trying to speak Spanish in a special bulletin.

Early 2000, when I was only 3!

While I obviously don't remember Andrew, I remember seeing promotions about a special TWC put together for Andrew's 10th anniversary. I never saw the special though.

I would say I really started watching TWC out of interest in 1999 when I was 7. I remember back in those days I would sit in my Grandpa's lap and watch the local warnings on our local news channel, too. Good times.

I think I started watching The Weather Channel in 1999, maybe earlier than that. I definitely remember watching TWC from 99. I don't quite remember the 4000 from my local head-end, but I do remember the XL v. 1 from 1999.

i watched it very infrequently from 2000-2008, but in January of 2009 I started watching it almost daily.

I started watching TWC in 2001. At that time we had the satellite version until sometime in 2003-2004ish we got the XL.

June 3, 1991 was first day i watched TWC. I watched TWC for an hour at first when there was this show on Nickelodeon i didnt care for so id switch to TWC. Then I started hearing song after song on the LF 's and I got instantly hooked, not hard since it pertains to an subject (Geography) I have always loved

It's very interesting to read about how all of you started watching The Weather Channel.  However, all of you are also making me feel very old...

Apparently in 1982. My babysitter turned it on all the time and she said I used to sit there and watch it. Now I can blame her for my weather obsession. At least I know why now.

Well... you beat me!!  Actually, I'm about a month or so younger than The Weather Channel.

Couldn't remember the exact date, but it was sometime in 1991. Mostly discovered it by accident; although urban legend is that it was pure luck, as on the cable lineup (TCI...remember them?) TWC was channel 28 and Nickelodeon channel 29.

So I've watched TWC for about 20 years! 

Wow, you cable system was alot like ours back then too. TCI used to be in our area too. On our lineup, TWC used to be located on channel 36 while Nickelodeon was (and still is) on 35. TWC is now on channel 2 on Comcast in our area. For me, my earliest memory of watching TWC dates back to sometime around 1991 too. I can't remember exactly, but I do sort of remember that one day in 1991, there was severe weather and we were living at our old house at the time. Our old house didn't have a basement and there was a tornado that was close to our town. I remember watching TWC along with our WeatherSTAR 3000. (we didn't get the 4000 until 1993). I've always have been interested in weather as well as computers and that was the perfect mix.
 
Today, I rarely watch it ever since the 2005 relaunch. I miss the old TWC...

1985. Cable was installed in my neighborhood, I noticed there was a Weather Channel and I started watching. There were some really nice backgrounds used during the locals in the 1986-1987 general time period (some stationary, others in motion) until they were later discontinued.

[TWC Fan]

I believe I started watching The Weather Channel since 1990. I remember when I was watching the N flavor.
