Floppyhead – Digital Media and Streaming

TVTonic has announced that it will now be offering the Weather Channel to their channel line-up. From TVTonic’s website:

And now, twice daily, TVTonic brings you on-demand national and regional video forecasts from The Weather Channel’s experts. So whether at home or the office, when you need to know what the skies have in store, TVTonic and The Weather Channel make it easy to find out in a hurry.

I am not sure how much of a draw the Weather Channel is for TVTonic. I can always just go to www.weather.com and get similar info. There are also already weather plugins for Vista Media Center.

My pessimism aside, the Weather Channel is a mainstream brand so it is interesting to see such a partnership with TVTonic. Weather is not exactly original content to be consumed by users. Rather it is just information to be looked up. TVTonic has to keep adding new content.
