SOLiVE24

SOLiVE24 (ソライブにじゅうよん) is a weather channel that broadcasts 24/7 online. Since April 16th, 2018, it has been known as "weathernews LIVE" (ウェザーニュースLiVE) (ironically also the name of a former late-night programming block on SOLiVE24, aired from 23:00 to 01:00 between October 2009 and January 2012).

It also features an interactive component in which viewers interact with the weathercasters and send in weather pictures through the application Sora Mado (ソラマド). The name of this application is a play on words ソラ as in sky (空) and so live (ソライブ).

While programming prioritizes weather, the casters also talk about other topics such as holidays and food.

The program runs in 30-minute blocks, though they are not easy to be noticed. The channel is broadcast commercial-free. A live shot of the sky outside the studio is shown and gentle music is played during what instead would be commercial breaks. Some of the music is from the Sora Uta (ソラウタ) project and can be downloaded for free.

Programming Schedule
The following schedule was found on the Japanese Wikipedia article and translated into English. All times are JST.

The channel maintains a self-designed warning system, which could cause the program to be suspended or shortened: If weather news breaks anytime between the "Morning" and "Moon" blocks, weathercaster will usually be able to relay the latest. However, if such stories break during either the "Night" or "Midnight" blocks, a forecaster will usually do so live from the forecast center.
 * Level 1 (Blue): Normal conditions.
 * Level 2 (Yellow): "Watch" conditions, indicating a watchout for severe weather. Information will be sandwiched into the programming, but the schedule operates normally.
 * Level 3 (Red): "Warning" conditions, indicating incoming severe weather. The whole schedule will be suspended for continuing coverage until whenever the threat/event is over. Usually reserved for typhoons and earthquakes.
