Localized EAS and The Weather Channel

Hi. I am looking to find out if DirecTV Stream can deliver localized Weather and Amber and Critical National/Localized alerts as the need arises. I’m looking to get a localized alert and localized Weather feed on the weather channel on my directv stream based off of zip code like as is the case with AT&T U-Verse.

The Weather Channel is only national on DirecTV Stream. Of course you can always download apps that offer local weather, etc with any service.

Dtv satellite has localized Weather Channel and apps for it can localize it as well. Dtv Stream has the capability but it's just not there yet.

Hi @TheodoreRoberts7272 ! Happy to help you with your weather channel inquiry.

At this moment, DIRECTV stream offers AccuWeather channel which is available on all the packages or The Weather channel that is available from CHOICE base package and above, both channels are available on HD.

Feel free to reaching us back again in case that you need further assistance.

We need to have a way for EAS broadcasts to be implemented and for The Weather Channel to be configured the same way on DirectTV Stream and DirecTV that is implemented on AT&T U-Verse. I’d love to see Big Lake, MN local area weather and cities around my area instead of cities all over the United States.
