Gaithersburg, MD, February 26, 2002 - AWS Convergence Technologies, Inc., which owns and operates the largest weather network in the world, today announced the recent signing of KARK-TV (News 4) Little Rock, Arkansas to its WeatherNet program.

Under the terms of the agreement, News 4 will incorporate into its broadcast real-time weather data from four new AWS weather stations recently donated to Little Rock schools. Schools will be able to access real-time weather data locally, nationally and internationally through the AWS school weather network. News 4 now has a total of ten weather stations installed in the Little Rock area.

In addition, News 4 announced that it has signed Entergy, a large energy and utility company headquartered in Louisiana, as the official sponsor for the program and will work directly with News 4 to address questions from the public concerning weather and energy and how it affects the very heart of the community.

“WeatherNet, in partnership with Entergy, gives KARK an awesome opportunity to provide more accurate and local weather conditions in neighborhoods that may not have been highlighted prior to the program. This technology, combined with the educational materials of WeatherNet Classroom, will also enhance scientific education at local schools for a long time to come,” said News 4 Chief Meteorologist Brett Cummins. “We are excited to be the pathway for excellence with this program in Arkansas.”
