ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Weather Channel is pleased to announce the broadcast of HELENE: ONE YEAR LATER -- three days of special live and original programming marking the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene -- the deadliest hurricane to strike the mainland U.S. in nearly two decades.

“Helene left an indelible mark on the land, infrastructure, and people in its path,” said Byron Allen, Founder/Chairman/CEO of Allen Media Group – parent company of The Weather Channel. “As we return to the communities most impacted, we are reminded not just of the storm’s destruction, but the extraordinary strength and resilience of those rebuilding their lives. HELENE: ONE YEAR LATER is about documenting and honoring their journey.”
