This is is why we do what we do. We love radio. We love weather. Our meteorologists are also experienced broadcasters. We believe quality can never suffer. That’s why our team delivers high quality custom forecasts to radio and online stations every day, around the clock.

For radio to stay strong in an increasingly robotic world, we must remember the power of human communication.

Listeners Still Desire a Reliable Source for Weather

How It Works 1. Our team produces the weather forecasts. 2. They are uploaded around the clock to an FTP site. 3. Station software or automation fetches those files and imports them into your on-air system.

SET IT IT AND FORGET IT IT! As Easy as the Ronco Rotisserie Oven!

How Can Automatically Download Forecasts? 1. Check your automation system to see if it can automatically grab FTP files from the Internet. If it is capable of doing that, you may not need to acquire any additional software. 2. Stations who use Simian 2.3 PRO are equipped with a function in your program that can retrieve our audio file (it would remain the same name such as WeatherForecast.mp3). 3. Radio Spider, Tune Tracker and Smart Caster are third party options that may not only download weather forecasts but other daily features and long form shows automatically.
