Missoula WX Central

Missoula WX Central is a local weather network that airs on KMCT 15.4 and KMSO 12.2/59.2 in Missoula. It broadcasts local weather forecasts provided by the Missoula office of the National Weather Service located at Missoula International Airport off Old Highway 10 West. It broadcasts the NOAA Weather Radio signal from Point Six Mountain on WXL25 which serves West Central Montana including Missoula and Hamilton when live programming is not airing and provides ample warnings for severe thunderstorms, flooding, winter weather, etc. Missoula WX Central was founded in 1996 by four meteorologists. It is now staffed by 50 storm spotters and 10 meteorologists, most from the MIssoula NWS office, two from former TV or radio stations. Missoula WX Central first broadcasted on a low-power TV signal, K45XL-ALP (analog low-power) from 1996 until 2008 when they were able to broadcast from KMCT's dot 4 subchannel and later in 2012 on KMSO's dot 2 subchannel. Between 2013 to April 2016, Missoula WX Central partnered with the student-run BroncsVision until it was shut down.
