rkolsen 1692 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I'm curious are there any stations out there that still follow / incorporate the now defunct NBC Weather Plus branding aside from WBAL?
TheRolyPoly 2626 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 KPNX for its 24-hour local weather channel that still exists, 12 News Weather+. It's an affiliate of The Local AccuWeather Channel.
oklahomanewsman 210 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Not that I know of at least in Oklahoma City now the brands they go by: KFOR: 4Warn Storm Team KOCO: First Alert Weather KOKH: StormWatch KWTV doesn't have a Weather brand other than just News 9 Weather.
rear_flank 45 Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 I know they got rid of that a few years ago in Philadelphia. ABC also got rid of the 24 hour AccuWeather channel as well. These are the names in Philly: KYW: Eyewitness Weather WPVI: AccuWeather WCAU: First Alert Weather WTXF: The Weather Authority

24994J 5657 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Who said this should be a station branding thread? It was a simple question. #whendidlistthreadsstopbeingdiscouraged?
TheRolyPoly 2626 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Who said this should be a station branding thread? It was a simple question. #whendidlistthreadsstopbeingdiscouraged? I know, right? I'm guilty of doing this but I'll bring it back on-topic. As far as I'm concerned, KPNX still uses it and so does WJXX. Yes, WJXX - ABC is broadcasting the local weather channel under "First Coast News Weather Plus." Those are the only two, IMO, that still use it for a 24/7 local weather channel.

ns8401 961 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 The fact I posted in here and Weeters quoted me and I got an alert about it is all news to me... The things you learn around here...

Breaking News 841 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 None of these are WeatherPLUS brands, so there's no reason to post them in this thread....... At times we all get caught up in TV News Land with the branding and other things. We did it, and the world hasn't ended. I don't see what the big deal is in my book. It's what it's. No harm, no malice, but whatevs.
AaronQ 288 Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Not WCNC (First Warn Weather), or WJAR (Storm Team 10).
MikePulse 319 Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 WESH 2 LOOOOONG gave up that title for "First Alert".

Eat News 4745 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 When I'm News Director I'm gonna just sell out and brand mine... "KBEX Skippy Peanut Butter Weather"
KevCor 344 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 "KBEX Skippy Peanut Butter Weather" I can see the script now: "Tonight's weather brought to you by Skippy Peanut Butter.... and just like a good spoonful of Skippy, clouds will be spreading across the area tonight..."

rkolsen 1692 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 I mentioned this in the shout box but it looks like WBAL is dropping their InstaWeather + branding. They just aired a PoP promo featuring their coverage of the flash flooding, severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings (one was confirmed) yesterday afternoon. They used an oversized version of their chyron where the descriptive banner said "WBAL-TV 11 Weather". The branding was further reinforced by voice over and at the very end a graphic animation showing their horizontal logo and generic weather text. I noticed a few months ago that their weather app's badge just had their logo and weather but thought it was just something the hub did and pushed out. I must say I'm a bit confused by this - the weather team is great and they are a top news station. I think they've branded it this way for 20+ years.
