The weather channel was eliminated Thursday morning by a malicious computer attack on the network.
The AMHQ morning show, scheduled to begin at 6:00 am ET, was not broadcast. Instead, viewers saw a recorded show called "Heavy Rescue: 401". The AMHQ show returned to the air at 7:39 am (Eastern time) with a commercial break and at 7:43 am, its presenters announced the reason for their absence.
"Weather Channel, unfortunately, was the victim of a malware attack today," said presenter Jim Cantore.
"Yes, and this has affected our ability to send you your weather information," added anchor Stephanie Abrams. "We just wanted to thank you once again for your patience and we want to be in tune with the weather today."
The network issued a statement indicating that federal law enforcement forces were actively investigating the problem and apologizing for the inconvenience to viewers.
