TWC Classics is a website that preserves images and audio and video clips of The Weather Channel from the first 25 years of its existence, from 1982 to 2008. It is one of the Internet's oldest websites aimed at The Weather Channel fandom, having been established in 1997.

History

TWC Classics was established by Weather Channel fan Matt Marron in June 1997 as Matt's TWC Music Homepage. The next year, it was retitled as TWC Fan, before renaming itself to its current name in 2000.

Forums

TWC Classics was once home to one of the earliest established message boards for The Weather Channel's fan community. The forums appear to have been established around late July 2002, although activity would not truly begin on the forums until after that August.[2]

The TWC Classics and TWC Today forums merged on April 9, 2010, ending the TWC Classics forums' independent run after nearly eight years.[3]
