Big Country News 435 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 KOSA, KMID, and KPEJ all use the 'Weather Authority' branding in newscasts. The awkward situation stems from their respective owners' efforts to rebrand the stations at around the same time. Before the rebrands, KOSA had 'Pinpoint' and KMID/KPEJ didn't brand weather.

At least KMID/KPEJ's version of "weather authority" branding makes sense seeing as how they're owned by Nexstar (though KPEJ is only operated by said company, but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we all know how difficult it is to brand... "Hot and Dusty" or "Cold and Windy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 It doesn't make sense to say three separate brands when KMID/KPEJ are together, so in reality... it only makes two. KMID/KPEJ and KOSA with "The Weather Authority." I think KWES still uses "StormTracker 9 Weather." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 It's distinct: obviously, it's not just a weather authority, but Your LOCAL™ Weather Authority "LOCAL" is probably a trademark of Nexstar Broadcasting Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
