The WeatherBug Widget is a free service located in FiOS TV's Widget Bazaar applications marketplace. In addition to forecasts and radar imagery, the WeatherBug Widget also provides localized information about high and low temperatures, chance of precipitation and level of humidity for the day or week. "We're again taking FiOS TV customers where cable can't, with one-touch access to real-time information that makes life easier and TV more interactive." "Whether you're traveling, getting the kids ready for school, or attending an outdoor event, you can use the WeatherBug Widget to easily plan ahead without having to wait for a broadcast weather report or go online to a weather site," said Shawn Strickland, vice president, marketing, Verizon Telecom. The reports and information appear on-screen without interfering with the television show that a subscriber is watching. They also can create a favorites list of up to 10 frequently checked ZIP codes for additional convenience in accessing local weather information from around the country. Subscribers can use the new widget, which is launching this week, to customize weather reports by any ZIP code, and pull up hourly or seven-day forecasts and radar weather imagery to see how local conditions are developing. FiOS TV customers now can quickly access real-time, personalized weather information - and forecasts for days to come - while they watch TV, with Verizon's new interactive WeatherBug Widget.
