WeatherStar III (now calls it WeatherStar 3000 because of the introduction of the WeatherStar 4000) was an enhanced version the previous WeatherStar model, the WeatherStar II. At that time of it's deployment the FCC began a plan to create more room for geosynchronous satellites, thus The Weather Channel needed to change the way their current WeatherStar were receiving data. It first appeared in 1986.

  • WeatherStar III (now calls it WeatherStar 3000 because of the introduction of the WeatherStar 4000) was an enhanced version the previous WeatherStar model, the WeatherStar II. At that time of it's deployment the FCC began a plan to create more room for geosynchronous satellites, thus The Weather Channel needed to change the way their current WeatherStar were receiving data. It first appeared in 1986. With some help from Wegener Communications & 2 million dollars later, TWC had once again upgraded the WeatherStar. When hooked up @ these cable companies, the WeatherStar 3000 would dial-up to receive the latest weather conditions & forecasts for it's local area. Then, when queued by TWC, the WeatherStar III would override TWC's viewing signal with its current conditions & forecast broadcast product & transmit that through cable wires to it's viewer's TV sets. The WeatherStar 3000 performed much more smoothly than the WeatherSTAR I. In 2004, the FCC decommissioned the WeatherStar 3000 because of it's inability to sound an audible tone after the first display of a weather warning.
