How to Disable Weather Channel Alerts?

TWC is unwatchable during bad weather (when you need it most).  The alerts are much too LOUD and are NON-STOP making the channel useless.

We are glad to assist you @mardre  with your at&t concern on the weather alerts 




According to the information that we have, the sounds are mandated by the FCC(Federal Communications Commission) and the EBS(Emergency Broadcast System).  There is not a way that we can just turn those off, because they are standard for everyone.  




The only thing that we can suggest is that you can mute the TV's sound and turn on Closed Captioning instead.  




If there is anything else that you need, please reach out to us again.  




please let me know if this helps
