The Weather Channel will debut the new morning show AMHQ with Sam Champion on March 17, 2014 at 7am ET. The new live show will air on weekdays and will feature Sam Champion, Maria LaRosa, and Mike Bettes (more co-hosts will be announced in the next few weeks).

The three-hour daily show will be based in Atlanta. Day one of the series will focus on St. Patrick’s Day events including a special report from the dyed-green Chicago River.

“This team just has amazing chemistry,” said David Clark, president of The Weather Channel network. “Together with an incredible bench of experts and contributors, we have created the morning show for the rest of us – a fast-moving, forward-looking, information-based hub to get you out the door informed, energized, and ready to tackle your day.”

In addition to weather updates and forecasts, AMHQ with Sam Champion will cover news, business reports, sports, and cultural events.
