CBS affiliate WTSP-TV has signed a three-year partnership agreement with AWS Convergence to deploy AWS' WeatherBug Zoom On-Air Display System and the WeatherBug online, desktop, community outreach and mobile program components to deliver exclusive live, weather conditions at the neighborhood level.
Local information will stream to the station from 24 WeatherBug Tracking Stations and 11 WeatherBug Cameras, including a new installation at the Tampa Bay 10 broadcast studio in St. Petersburg, Fla. Tampa Bay 10 will also provide content for the WeatherBug desktop application, which is used by 67,000 at work and in-home viewers in the Tampa St. Petersburg/Sarasota viewing area.
WeatherBug Tracking Stations are mostly located at local schools, and local installations such as Seminole Hard Rock Casino and Temple Terrace Fire Department.
