New Doppler Radar Service Helps Stations See Blind Spots In Their Coverage
TV stations are signing up for a new weather radar service that is filling the gaps that exist in the national weather radars. One station meteorologist says “if you asked any meteorologist in any of those markets, they would say this is so helpful.”
Telly, which said it plans to provide 500,000 of its dual-screen TV sets to people for free, said that more than 100,000 signed up on its website in the first 36 hours. The company plans to give away the devices — worth $1,000 each, according to Telly — in order to make money by selling data about viewers and selling advanced targeted advertising.
