STATE COLLEGE, PA - AccuWeather, Inc. announced today that UCView Media, Inc. has licensed AccuWeather’s news, sports and weather content for redistribution on digital signage networks across the United States and Canada.  The AccuWeather content functions as a powerful tool to draw and hold viewers, which can reduce perceived wait times.

AccuWeather’s digital signage content modules include current local weather conditions, hourly and five-day forecasts, regional radar, video forecasts and weather trivia.  Also included are U.S. & world news as well as business and sports updates.  Many of AccuWeather’s digital signage modules are also available in Spanish.


Digital signage has become an essential element for advertising to captive audiences, but displaying only advertisements can cause viewers to completely tune out the information. The AccuWeather modules integrate timely and localized information into digital signage play lists that grab a viewer’s interest.


“Weather is, by its very nature, relevant and dynamic information that draws eyes to the screens again and again. That is why weather consistently gains top audience ratings in all existing mediaand why advertisements integrated with weather information in existing media command premium rates,” said Dr. Joel N. Myers, founder and president of AccuWeather. “Now the content that AccuWeather has developed will offer to digital signage systems the same attractive power of weather.”


AccuWeather engaged with UCView Media to integrate AccuWeather’s content and fully integrated it into the UCView System, the flagship product of UCView. The UCView System delivers up-to-the-minute digital content over wireless or TCP/IP networks. The system enables display owners to manage, schedule and deliver their content. An optional advertising module allows for advertisers to log in, manage, schedule and control their advertising campaigns. The UCView system provides display owners a revenue channel without the hassles of managing advertisers.


“Bundling fresh, informative content into digital signage will keep the eyes of the targeted audience focused on the screens, providing advertisers the perfect stage to promote their products.” said Guy Avital, UCView Media CEO. “This latest addition to our system enables instantaneous delivery of weather information to a digital signage network. Setting up your own digital signage network can take less than 15 minutes!”


Distribution of AccuWeather content across the United States and Canada by UCView is effectively immediately.
