This spring Sling TV bolstered its line-up by adding The Weather Channel’s geo-targeted Local Now service to its “Best of Live TV” subscription package at no additional cost. This makes the over-the-top TV service the first pay-TV provider to offer Local Now, which includes local, geo-targeted updates on news, weather, sports and traffic. In addition, The Weather Channel announced last week that it is launching a mobile app for all Weather Channel TV subscribers, and later this summer, it will launch Local Now on another web-based TV service.
