FOX Weather Launches Hurricane Week Live Specials
FOX Weather is launching Hurricane Week from May 31–June 6, 2026, a weeklong series of live specials, expert interviews, viewer Q&As and behind-the-scenes segments designed to educate viewers and promote storm preparedness ahead of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. Programming highlights include an hour-long live Miami special on June 1 (8 p.m. ET) hosted by FOX Weather hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross and meteorologist Ian Oliver, interviews with National Hurricane Center experts, a hurricane-hunters segment, a live viewer Q&A, and a tech-focused forecasting show. FOX Weather is a free ad-supported streaming (FAST) service operated by FOX News Media and is available via FoxWeather.com, mobile apps and many streaming/CTV platforms and local digital subchannels.
Adds themed live programming to a FAST/video streaming property, modestly increasing ad-supported CTV inventory and audience engagement ahead of hurricane season; relevant to publishers and CTV/AVOD buyers but not industry-shifting.
