Evolving beyond legacy satellite and hardware to a unified, fully managed cloud platform for unmatched agility and future-ready media operations
NEW YORK — April 19, 2026 — Amagi, the agentic industry cloud platform for unified broadcast, streaming, and monetization, today announced that AccuWeather®, the most trusted source of weather forecasts and warnings with proven Superior Accuracy™, has successfully completed a landmark modernization of its broadcast ecosystem as part of an expanded engagement. AccuWeather now moves from traditional broadcast infrastructure to a cloud-based, internet-driven system that manages both linear TV and streaming in one place. This eliminates separate workflows, making distribution more efficient, flexible, and easier to scale across platforms.
The transformation, anchored at Amagi’s state-of-the-art Master Control Room (MCR) in Princeton, N.J. brings both the technology stack and managed operations under a single provider. This enables AccuWeather to achieve a high level of agility and rapid customization of channel.
“Managed Services is at the heart of this engagement,” said Srinivasan KA, Co-founder and President – Global Business, Amagi. “Our role is not just to provide cloud playout technology, but to actively operate, monitor, and optimize mission-critical broadcast environments with a unified approach. As the entire solution is based on Amagi’s tech stack and managed services, customizations are seamless and faster. With our Princeton MCR overseeing Linear and FAST channels, AccuWeather gains both cloud-native agility and broadcast-grade operational assurance—a combination that is critical, but rare in the market.”
A strategic pivot for unified workflows
The expanded engagement builds on a successful initiative launched in 2021, when AccuWeather introduced its FAST channels. Through Amagi’s Managed Services model, AccuWeather receives:
- Enhanced distribution efficiency: Transition to a fully IP-based distribution model to improve reliability and reduced costs.
- Optimized regionalization at scale: Advanced sub-feed capabilities enable efficient management of multiple regional feeds with customized graphics.
- Real-time agility for live events: Faster workflows allowing for instant delivery of breaking news and critical weather updates across all platforms.
