Skywatch Weather Center meteorologists can implement your commitment to provide the listening public with accurate and timely weather forecasts. Our forecast staff has up to 35 years of experience in radio weather forecasting. In every market that we have clients, our sponsored services compete with the weather forecasts available from the National Weather Service. There must be reasons that these radio stations pay for our services when they could get forecasts for free from the government.

Our meteorologists are experienced, responsive to your needs and schedule, and available for consultation whenever the weather is a news story in your listening area.

With Skywatch Weather, you also get exclusivity in your market. Some weather services provide their services to any and all stations in a market willing to pay.  We will maintain the Skywatch Weather Center © name for the exclusive use of your station or station group in your market.

Our basic service level includes four forecasts per day. These typically are delivered for use during the morning drive, noon news, afternoon drive, and evening/overnight time periods. Forecasts are delivered via a format selected by the station's management.

• Station calls at preset times during the day, and a professional meteorologist delivers the appropriate forecast, which is taped for multiple on-air delivery.

• Our meteorologists record the forecast, convert it to MP3 format, and upload it to our Internet server. The station downloads the MP3 file at their convenience, for multiple on-air delivery.

• On some stations, usually those with a news talk format, the radio personality will call us, and receive the forecast from our professional meteorologists while on the air. By simultaneously taping the session, the forecast is available for multiple on-air delivery until the next scheduled forecast. The on-air talent and our forecaster often engage in back and forth conversations covering topics other than the weather.

The links below provide MP3 samples of extended forecasts, travelers' forecasts, and the intros and outros which allow your station to provide a unique weather presentation to your listening market.

TELEVISION

Television personalities call to discuss the weather forecast, and to gather information for their graphics department. Skywatch Weather does not provide the full graphics package that most TV stations use as the anchor of their weather presentations. We can and do provide national and regional weather maps with fronts, areas of precipitation, and temperature profiles. We also provide detailed 5 day forecasts for the viewing area.

With our information in hand, the TV graphics department can prepare maps for on-air display, and present that information in conjunction with the 5 day forecast. In this way, a TV station can present its viewing audience with professional weather forecasts without the cost of hiring and maintaining a full crew of meteorologists on staff.
