The channel provides 24-hour live reports on traffic conditions and weather forecasts for the New York City metropolitan area, updated every 5 minutes.

It is an affiliate of the News 12 Networks slate of regional cable news channels in the New York City area (each of which focus on areas outside of Manhattan and Queens, including the easternmost boroughs).

On August 5, 1998,[2] the service was launched as MSG Metro Traffic & Weather as part of the MSG Metro Channels slate (and as of 2022, it is the only channel that was a part of the original MSG Metro Channels slate that survives in operation); its format was also revised to include regular updates on traffic conditions in the New York metropolitan area.

The channel maintains a staff of five part-time and several freelance traffic reporters, and two on-camera meteorologists.
