Madison,
WI, April 16, 2007 -
The first integrated
online traffic and weather
solution, GreenLight 1.0 was
launched at NAB 2007 today, the
only online product that
combines traffic and weather
information to show related
impacts within the same display.
Greenlight builds on
proven consumer demand for
packaging traffic & weather
information together by not
merely reporting incidents and
forecasting weather but
graphically showing the impact
of weather on traffic.
Greenlight
1.0 adds distinctive value to
websites of media outlets.
Typically posted
separately, essential traffic
and weather information is now
available on a single web page.
It can be customized to
include other content featuring
local reporters and air
personalities.
Greenlight 1.0 also
enables cross-platform
assimilation with on-air
graphics.
Greenlight
1.0 is built on exclusive
RouteCast® technology
developed in partnership between
MyWeather LLC and TrafficCast
International.
MyWeather, a sister
company to television leader in
weather data and production
tools Weather Central Inc.,
provides a portfolio of
interactive and mobile tools for
client web sites.
TrafficCast International
is a leader in digital traffic
data and analysis.
The
companies are engaged in a
number of initiatives to
leverage TrafficCast¡¯s
strengths in the fusion of
complex traffic data sources
with MyWeather¡¯s proven
abilities in advanced graphic
display technology.
Future releases of
Greenlight will advance the
forecast traffic & weather
information and enhance
personalization options. It is
an enterprise-level traffic
solution for the largest and
most demanding markets, but
universally adaptable to provide
a comprehensive traffic solution
even in Tier II and III markets
across the U.S. and Canada.
¡°Weather
& traffic consistently lead
in viewer surveys of important
program content. Greenlight 1.0 combines them in a way that enriches the user
experience, and communicates
essential information
effectively and efficiently,¡±
said Chris Kelly, Executive Vice
President of Strategic
Partnerships of MyWeather.
¡°Greenlight
communicates valuable travel
information, and with the
affiliate clients of our
partners, we¡¯ll be able to
offer access in not only the top
50
markets where traffic
reports are usually found, but
also extend them to mid-sized
markets where we know there¡¯s
pent-up demand,¡± added Connie
Li, President & CEO of
TrafficCast International.
GreenLight,
deployment to television and
print markets begins in April of
2007.
The application along
with the entire RouteCast
product suite will be showcased
at the National Association of
Broadcasters (NAB) convention in
Las Vegas from April 14th -
April 19th, in MyWeather¡¯s
exhibit booth number C5334.
