PhillyWatch 238 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Scrolling through the guide on PlutoTV, I noticed the logo for WeatherNation actually read "WeatherNation Los Angeles" (my location), and upon selecting the channel I saw that it featured a localized L-bar with static, local time that cycled through cities in the region with current conditions and a 5-day forecast, along with a "local weather on the 7's" in the video feed (which isn't *quite* on the 7's given the stream lag). I compared it with the WeatherNation app on my Roku, and their app (while offering a local forecast on their landing screen) still only offered the national WN feed. While I don't love the fact that WN is a corporate sibling to "Real America's Voice", I don't exactly love FOX Weather's sister channel either (and don't get me started on the Byron Allen scripted courtroom shows...), moreover I do appreciate all the options we now have for weather information, particularly in this case, localized weather info. I know localized versions of WN are available sporadically OTA, but I'm happy to see this wider distribution via means such as Pluto. I imagine most of the major cities will have localized WN available on Pluto, but I'm curious as to what some of you might see when checking it out for yourselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 250 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Changing my IP around via Surfshark, I found WeatherNation versions for New York, Boston, Atlanta and Chicago on PlutoTV, so this is definitely a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoddf2 2 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I tried this on the Roku streaming player in the living room, and found only the national feed. That may be because this is a small market (DMA 132), though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 2973 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 WeatherNation Dallas-Fort Worth is on Pluto. I'm using a Firestick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1829 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I'm in the Miami market and using Roku. Nope, nothing local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sound Naive here---Real America's Voice, what is that?? I've never heard of it or seen it. Is it similar to One America News? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of it or seen it. Is it similar to One America News? Yes, a streaming "news" channel that's basically closer to a Q-anon message board than it is to Fox News. I believe they host Steve Bannon's "show", which says about everything there is to say about them. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
