Sounds like great news to me! I was happy to see who the four investors are. Hopefully it'll be successful.

For the newer folks, AWN's John Oldshue is the person who launched Talkweather.com in the late 90's.

I might start watching the Alabama Weather Network for routine weather forecasts instead of the local news. I have bad anxiety issues and I cannot watch a lot of news anymore. So far I find the stream very calming.

In addition to the Alabama Weather Network, we'd be happy to have you at Tennessee Valley Weather. Our viewing area expanded at the start of summer to now include Madison County, AL and Lincoln County, TN.

Ben Luna that owns and manages our operation up here is the one that designed their studio and has provided consultation for their operation and helped them put into place a lot of the backbone of their video/audio/etc structure. We're thrilled to see James and the guys have a successful launch! You may also see our two groups using some of each other's skycams from time to time. The Florence UNA camera they have been showing, for instance, is in our network... and we have been thankful to be able to show their Huntsville Monte Sano and Russellville/Crooked Oak cameras. We overlap some coverage counties, but it's not competition. It's two groups standing side by side to serve the local community.

Welcome to our recent new followers! A refresher on where and how to get the most from the weather services we offer… - Tennessee Valley Weather

We have picked up many new followers through a very active spring storm season and then after adding Madison County AL and Lincoln County TN to our viewing area not long ago... as well as from folks finding out about us while hearing the launch of our affiliate neighboring partner Matt Laubhan's...

tnvalleyweather.com

Here's a somewhat recent (since the viewing area expansion) blog post of ours that will give you info on how to get our free weather app, how to find our smart TV apps, how to sign up for our WeatherCall subscription service if you want (our only paid service because it's through WeatherCall), how to find our social media platforms, etc., etc...
