The Weather Channel wanted to test the effectiveness of advertising in online communities. According to AP, the station looked at it as an opportunity, and hoped that by getting in early, it could become an established leader in that environment. The Weather Channel donated $75,000 to Musicians' Village, to date the biggest home-rebuilding project in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Connick and saxophonist Branford Marsalis came up with the idea for the village in 2005, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity. The Weather Channel also ran public service announcements about the Musicians' Village. The TV Guide Channel, as part of its shows Watch This and 411, featured interviews with participants of the miniseries. The TV Guide had placements of The Weather Channel's logo, and the TV Guide website hosted 100 Biggest Weather Moments banner ads.The Associated Press http://nab.broadcastnewsroom.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=125329 Big 'Moments' In Forecast broadcastnewsroom.com April 9, 2007 April 21, 2007 https://web.archive.org/web/20110708094805/http://nab.broadcastnewsroom.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=125329 2011-07-08 usurped See also Top 100 Weather Moments References External links 100 Biggest Weather Moments Category:Meteorology in history Category:The Weather Channel original programming Category:2000s American documentary television series
