I just saw a quick ID on WBZ-TV which said "WBZ Accuweather..How about that weather."
So, I wonder if they have decided to partner with Accuweather, like WBZ-AM does?
Has anyone heard anything about this?

Just watched Barry at noon. He must have said "Accuweather forecast" at least four times. It's not taking long for this to rise to an annoying level.

It's bad enough BZ radio has AccuWeather. If BZ-TV takes this route they will lose a viewer, namely me.  |

Anyone else see this as a bad sign for the on air talent at 'BZ?
The accuweather link provided earlier in this thread makes it seems like if a station wanted then accuweather could do all of the work and any "presenter" could stand in front of the camera and repeat a script from the service.
The Boston market has many strong meterologists, it would be a shame to see the weather departments become as decimated as the sports departments have become.

To voice your disapproval over this,
you may go to wbztv.com and click on
the "contact us" icon. I just did.

Does WBZ still have their doppler in Worcester? It seems like they haven't used it lately and I can't find it on the website.
