How much does it cost?
e-Weather comes in two versions:
1. Basic version, which costs US $400 for a single license with a 3 year lease.
2. Basic + Scheduling Module, which costs US $500 for a single license with a 3 year lease.
What is the difference between the 2 versions?
The Basic version produces just the spoken weather conditions spot.
The Basic + Scheduling Module, allows for an advertising spot to immediately follow the weather conditions spot. You can easily schedule different advertising spots for each hour thus 24 per day and different for each day of the week. You have a 24 x 7 scheduler.
Can I use my own voicing?
Of course you can! We will send you the scripts and instructions on how to record and then you'll send the recording back to us. We will then produce your custom prompts and set them up for you. Extra cost is US $150.
Can I add my own Station Name / Callsign?
Of course you can! We can add any kind of extra info, such as City, Callsign, Announcer's name, Sponsor intro "Brought to you by", etc. For example after customization, the produced weather conditions spot may sound like : "Hi this is John Smith with WKX 107.5 weather conditions, brought to you by SomeCompany... Temperature now in Skokie is 72 degrees, the winds are coming from the East at 8 miles per hour.
What type of hardware does it need?
