ACCUWEATHER's KEN PREHL said, “Developing new and creative ways of delivering the best weather forecasts, warnings and data around is always energizing, but it becomes extra compelling when we are helping legendary radio stations continue to fulfill their fundamental roles as broadcasters. Weather is still 'lean in' content, and we are extremely excited and proud to extend this important partnership.”

When you are talking about brands like 1010 WINS (NEW YORK), WCBS 880 (NEW YORK), WBBM (CHICAGO), and WWJ (DETROIT) it’s an impressive universe, and now that we are adding major market FM stations to the mix, it’s a milestone moment for everyone involved.”
