Gary Archibald, Weathercaster

It’s a busy, busy day at Weather Plus…in front of the camera and behind the scenes, the crew here is on the go. We are in the business of telling weather stories – the task in and of itself can be a challenge but the teamwork aspect is always a plus (hence the “Plus” in our very own trademark). Time is usually not on our side but we get the job done. And, we account for the weather forecast for several of our brother, sister, and parent networks and stations around the globe on a daily, hour-by-hour basis.

Case in point, today’s schedule requires Weather Plus to deliver national, regional, and international information to our partners at MSNBC, CNBC, CNBC World, in addition to our Weather Plus scheduled broadcast. In addition, we are also at the disposal of NBC Nightly News, The Today Show… the list keeps growing and we welcome that challenge. We want to be the main player in the dissemination of timely, accurate, and engaging forecasts across the nation and around the world, via television, the internet, or any other medium!

Take a look at a few pictures of yours truly doing just that… In one image I am working from the NBC Weather Plus set, broadcasting a national televised forecast and simultaneously a digital one via the Internet (check us out at www.weatherplus.com).

I then walk through a partition to the MSNBC set and subsequently broadcast on the network. One forecast after another through the afternoon hours… it’s tough at times, constantly demanding, but never dull.

Gary opens to door to the MSNBC side of our weather set.

Later today – I will broadcast from the NBC Weather Plus set for CNBC World – our partners who specialize in all that is world business news and events – and they are really good at it, just like their close brother network (and ours), CNBC.

This, is all in a day's work. Hmmm…Nightly News with Brian Williams may want to get a story or interview later this afternoon about Tropical Storm Cosme and its potentially damaging impact on the weekend for the Hawaiian Islands.

At Weather Plus – we’ll be ready.

Got to get back to the set - sets (plural) actually.

See you there –
