Is The Weather Channel the same info as NOAA NWS?

I was just wondering if the Weather Channel gets all of their weather data from the National Weather Service (NWS)?? Such as, does the Weather Channel own their own satellites and radar, or do they just use all of the NWS Satellites and Radar? Is the NWS and the Weather Channel affliated at all?

I have no clue. Try contacting someone from www.weather.com.
