This article is wrong about IBM having owned the cable channel.

When IBM purchased the Weather Company back in 2016, I looked into it and determined that they did NOT purchase the cable channel.

The Wikipedia article for The Weather Company states:

“The Weather Company was previously owned by a consortium made up of the Blackstone Group, Bain Capital, and NBCUniversal. That consortium sold the Weather Company’s product and technology assets to IBM on January 29, 2016, but retained possession of The Weather Channel cable network until March 2018, when it was sold to Entertainment Studios.[2] “
