About Pelmorex

Pelmorex

Pelmorex is the parent company that owns and operates The Weather Network and MétéoMédia -- Canada’s only English and French 24-hour specialty channels devoted entirely to weather and environmental issues.

At Pelmorex, we are passionate about the weather - it defines all that we do. Our vision is to be Canada’s leading provider of multimedia weather information and services, no matter the technology. Over the years, we have dedicated ourselves to making The Weather Network, MétéoMédia and their respective web sites, theweathernetwork.com and meteomedia.com, Canadian success stories. The result is that The Weather Network and MétéoMédia are services that Canadians are tuning into first when they want current, accurate and detailed weather information to help plan their activities.

We are very proud of the fact that Canadians voted and chose The Weather Network as having the best forecasts on television for the sixth consecutive year (Jan 2008). The TV Quality (TVQ) survey also confirmed that TWN is among the leading networks in the category of viewer satisfaction and perceived value. The TVQ survey is a national survey that reports annually on attitudes toward television.

Other facts about Pelmorex:

  • A privately owned Canadian company founded in 1989 by Chairman and CEO Pierre L. Morrissette.
  • Headquartered in Oakville, Ontario with broadcast centres in both Oakville and Montréal, Québec.
  • A proud employer of more than 350 people across Canada, including our regional offices in Vancouver BC, Calgary AB and Moncton NB.


About The Weather Network

The Weather Network

We deliver weather information to our viewers and online users 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with local forecasts broadcast every 10 minutes on the 10s.

In Canada, where the weather can change on a daily and even hourly basis, we are committed to provide Canadians with accurate, up-to-the-minute weather information that they can depend upon.

At The Weather Network, we’re especially proud of the fact that:

  • The Weather Network is the most widely distributed and recognized weather brands on the Internet. As well as our own high traffic web site, www.theweathernetwork.com, we provide 'branded' weather forecasts to some of the largest portals and search engines including Sympatico, Canada.com, AOL Canada, Excite@Home and Canoe.

  • Combined, The Weather Network/MétéoMédia reach 11.1million households representing 99% of Canadian cable and satellite subscribers, making it among the most widely distributed television services.

  • We are focused on providing accurate forecasts. Using a unique Canadian technology that we developed in-house called PMX, we can localize our weather forecasts for up to 1,200 communities across Canada. No other broadcast service, specialty or conventional, has that capability.

  • The Weather Network, MétéoMédia and their respective web sites, www.theweathernetwork.com and www.meteomedia.com, are wholly owned and operated by Pelmorex. On average, more than 5.1 million Canadians visit www.theweathernetwork.com each month making it the most visited weather information Web site in Canada (comScore Media Metrix).

  • Pelmorex is Canada's largest private sector employer of Meteorologists and has the largest number of Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) endorsed weather presenters, more than any other media outlet in Canada.
