The Weather Channel's Vision is ready to take on the most demanding aspects of mobile storm tracking.

While AMT builds many unique and innovative weather platforms for countless stations, we pay homage to the network that started the phenomenon! Launched on May 2, 1982, The Weather Channel broadcasts weather forecasts and analysis alongside weather-related news, documentaries, and entertainment programming. Received by approximately 79.128 million households as of 2018, The Weather Channel is regarded as one of THE MOST trustworthy media organizations (according to a 2022 poll by The Economist and YouGov).

Built from a slick black Chevy Tahoe from the Special Service platform, the new Vision Series SUV is equipped with AMT’s exclusive DriveLive™ system and powered by our industry-crushing MVP-E™ power system. 

Fully redundant with a dual path system, it offers LiveU LU610 Encoders, Quad IFB Systems, and eight cellular phone lines. Not only does its flexible transmissions capabilities allow unrestricted mobile broadcasting in urban environments, but the platform is also equipped with high security measures, including partitions and window screens that keep the cargo safe and secure.

Built, tested, and wrapped, the new Vision Series Tahoe is ready to hit the streets!

Camera Storage Locker

(rear or main compartment)

Storage options are as limitless and unique as your station’s requirements… but a popular option is our camera storage locker. We’ll install customized lockers in your News Truck for safe equipment storage (give us the specs in the “other requests” section).

Storage Options

Storage options are as limitless and unique as your station’s requirements. Custom Cabinets and Shelving can be adapted to provide secure equipment storage and supplies. Clutter inside the work area or rear storage area is a thing of the past. Talk to your AMT representative about your needs. We have literally hundreds of options available.
