News 12 traffic and weather live3/18/2023 ![]() The radar and traffic cameras are live in every report. The channel is live 24/7/365, although the traffic reporters are live, on average, every 15 minutes, and meteorologists are live, on average, every 3 hours. The reports for all 5 regions originate in the Woodbury, New York studios. There are five different channels (New York City, New Jersey, Long Island, the Hudson Valley, and Connecticut) that compose News 12 Traffic & Weather, covering the Tri-State Region. The traffic portion of the channel includes maps with arrow flows and live traffic cameras, with the information voiced by off-camera traffic reporters. The weather component of the channel features radar, temperatures, information on tides and pollen counts, and a seven day forecast, all voiced by off-camera meteorologists. Channel 61 is the only surviving channel of the original MSG Metro Channels. In 2005, the channel joined the News 12 Networks and assumed its current name. It was the first solely 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 feature that made the network unique. In 1998, it was rebranded as MSG Metro Weather as part of the MSG Metro Channels, and, when a traffic element was added to the channel, it became Metro Traffic & Weather in 1998. When Optimum TV launched in 1996, it got a full-time position on systems in Cablevision areas. It would air in the mornings on most Cablevision systems in place of Bravo/E! when they shared a channel on Cablevision Long Island cable systems. News 12 Traffic & Weather started out as News 12 Weather in the early 90s. The channel has a staff of approximately 40 (full-time, part-time, and freelance) traffic reporters and 10 (full-time, part-time, and freelance) meteorologists and is based in Woodbury, New York. It is also seen in a small area of the Hudson Valley on Comcast. News 12 Traffic & Weather, formerly Called Metro Traffic & Weather, is a local traffic and weather channel seen on all Cablevision operating systems on Channel 61 in each of the 5 regions Cablevision serves.
