Weather Channel Greenlights 6 New Series in Time for First Upfront in 5 Years
Secrets of the Earth, Weather That Changed the World to premiere first
The Weather Channel held its first-ever full-blown upfront presentation this morning at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Manhattan, with Weather Company president David Kenny touting a new slate of originals and several recent shows that represent a change in the forecast for the elderly cable network. It's been five years since Weather had an upfront of any kind, but it's always been a party and never (until now) a programming presentation.
