DirecTV and the Weather Channel separately said on their websites that the cable network has been removed from the satellite-television service.

Weather Co., the Weather Channel's parent, is owned by a consortium that includes Comcast Corp. subsidiary NBCUniversal Inc. and private-equity firms Blackstone Group LP and Bain Capital LLC.
