Westwood One Partners With Weathergology

Westwood One is now the exclusive radio partner of Weatherology, the 24/7 weather reporting service. Westwood One will be affiliating Weatherology to radio stations across the United States, building on their existing 600 affiliates in the upper Midwest.

Weatherology’s unique technology delivers standard weather reports, as well as breaking weather advisories, directly into radio station automation systems for insertion on air. This enables a station to have up-to-the-minute weather reporting, whether they are live or not. Reports are constantly updated, ensuring accurate reporting of current conditions and quality forecasts, and the affiliated station has a broad choice of voices, depth of weather coverage, and customization.

Winter is coming soon, and Westwood One is ready to offer this service to stations everywhere, including our massive 24-Hour Format customer base.”

 “For 32 years, Weatherology has been the industry leader supporting the unique programming challenges of our radio partners. Our latest audio weather technology, and our partnership with Westwood One, allows us to take our operation to radio stations across the country. There’s nobody better prepared to help local radio stay local than Weatherology,” added Stephen Wohlenhaus, Weatherology’s founder and Chief Executive.  “We are so excited to take local weather programming to a whole new level with Westwood One.”
