WBZ CBS4 in Boston uses WeatherBug Zoom 2.5 and MotionCam to show live conditions and crowds at Stowe Mountain Ski Resort.

WeatherBug is tackling the area of on-air, online and mobile weather delivery with its new WeatherBug Zoom product which features:

  • Custom alerts that allow TV meteorologists at WeatherBug partner stations to program their Zoom system to notify them of severe weather.
  • Ability to sign up five e-mail, pager or cell phone "addresses" to receive alerts when the parameter limits are exceeded.
  • Live video from MotionCams within the WeatherBug Network.
  • An easier selection process and ready access to WeatherBug Tracking Stations, InstaCams and MotionCams within the broadcaster's DMA.

WeatherBug also offers a variety of ways for consumer and business users to access its rich, proprietary weather information 24-hours-a-day. This includes free and premium versions of the WeatherBug downloadable software application, as well as station-branded, mobile alerts, and on-air distribution through broadcast partnerships with more than 100 local television station affiliates.
