CBS News has made a deal with the Weather Channel, which will provide on-air talent and reporting for the network’s morning and evening newscasts.
The partnership announced Monday by the companies will give CBS News access to the Weather Channel’s team of well-known meteorologists Stephanie Abrams, Jim Cantore and Mike Bettes. The Weather Channel’s “Virtual View” technology, which digitally visualizes forecast conditions, will also be used.
“By bringing together CBS News and the Weather Channel’s weather teams and Virtual View technology, we will not only be able to forecast the weather but show viewers what it’s really going to look like,” said Neeraj Khemlani, president and co-head of CBS News and Stations.
