On July 8, 2026, The Weather Channel increased the cost of its direct-to-consumer streaming service, available on platforms such as Android TV, Fire TV, Roku, and Samsung TVs. Monthly subscriptions rose from $2.99 to $4.99, while annual plans increased from $35 to $49.99. Earlier that day, the company revived the distinctive look and feel of its 1990s broadcasts across its websites and mobile application through a "RetroCast" feature, which recreates the presentation style of the era’s “Weather on the 8s” segments. This follows The Weather Company's appointment of Jay Humphlett as General Manager of its Aviation and Public Sector division on June 23, 2026. Humphlett, an executive with technology and public sector experience, joined the executive leadership team to lead growth strategies in global defense, intelligence, aviation, and government technology markets.
