The Weather Channel (TWC), already America's most trusted news source, is well-positioned to be advertisers' trusted partner as well. But, in an increasingly competitive TV environment, and with ratings in question as an exclusive metric for valuing TV in the changing viewer landscape, TWC sought additional data sets to effectively articulate the true impact and value of its ad inventory.
As JT Peace, Associate Director of Ad Sales at TWC explains, "We know that our audience is more intentional and more engaged across all dayparts than our news and lifestyle competitors."
Intuitively this makes sense, as viewers engage with weather-related news stories to prepare for the day - no matter if storms are coming or clear skies are predicted.

As a result of their partnership with TVision, the TWC team is ready with the attention data that proves it's a premium, high-value investment.
