A place to go for those of you who wish to discuss happenings in OH, IN, IL, WI, and Ontario. OSU sucks, by the way.

WTHI Hi99 Using WTWO Weather

Unread post by Taco »

This is a head scratcher for me. So I've been listening to WTHI Hi99 from Terre Haute, Indiana. WTHI 10 is the CBS affiliate there as well. Anyways I was wondering why they were using their competitors weather from WTWO and not from their own company, WTHI? Is this common?
Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

WTHI-FM was split from WTHI-TV in 2005 -- the FM is owned by Midwest Communications, while Allen Media owns the TV. As the FM is no longer part of the same family, they can choose to get their news and weather from anyone else.

Very interesting! I had no idea! Seems weird they didn't change call letter to differentiate from one another.

Two other examples of this include WWJ in Detroit and KDKA in Pittsburgh being spun off after being sold to Audacy a few years ago,
