When temperatures soar, so will your ratings
Weather is the single most watched component of the daily television news program. The weather is so popular because it assists viewers to make daily decisions, in other words, the weather is the news; so if it’s accompanied with engaging scripting and spectacular presentation, viewers will be glued to it.
There’s another bonus too. An engaging weather segment will not only boost ratings for your own program, but it will boost ratings for adjacent programs as well, thereby providing an advertising nugget for the entire network.
