KYW Now Weather Source For CBS's Philly Radios

By Staff
TVNewsCheck, Nov 23 2009, 8:39 AM ET

CBS Philadelphia O&O KYW-TV Meteorologist Kathy Orr has joined KYW Newsradio's popular Reporters Round-up weekdays at 3:30 p.m., providing daily weather forecasts for the program broadcast on 1060 AM and streamed live on www.kyw1060.com.

Over the next two weeks,  the Eyewitness Weather team — including Orr, Doug Kammerer, Maria LaRosa and Carol Erickson — will also begin providing forecasts for on-air hosts at sister stations SportsRadio 610 WIP and 94 WYSP.

Eyewitness News has been providing weather forecasts and traffic for 98.1 WOGL for several years and recently began weather forecasting for The Big Talker 1210 AM as well.   With these latest additions, the TV station's weather team officially becomes a weather source for all five of its CBS sister radio stations.

"We have been looking for opportunities to expand both the Eyewitness News brand and our news service across other platforms," says KYW-WPSG President-General Manager Jon Hitchcock. "What makes more sense than starting with family first? Ultimately, our goal is to make CBS the primary source for news in Philadelphia."
