AT&T has launched Weather On Demand, an interactive feature powered by AccuWeather.com that allows AT&T U-verse TV customers to access weather information at the touch of a button. The new weather feature is available now at no extra charge to AT&T U-verse TV customers in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast in Florida, San Antonio, Chicagoland, Detroit, Sacramento and San Francisco, Cleveland, and St. Louis.

AT&T U-verse TV Provides Detailed Weather Conditions for any U.S. City

Customers can access AccuWeather.com information for their home city and any other U.S. city they specify on their "My Cities" list. Customers can then: view weather information for cities throughout the country that they select; view current local conditions, including high/low temperatures, humidity, wind, visibility, and barometric pressure; get local and nationwide forecasts, including hourly and six-day outlooks; access animated local and national radar imagery and satellite views; watch current videos of meteorologists presenting the local weather updates; search and select cities by name, zip code, or by looking at a U.S. map.

"Weather On Demand is just another great example of how we continue to deliver innovative and beneficial features to our customers using our Internet Protocol (IP) platform," said Paul LaSchiazza, president of AT&T Illinois. "We're making it easy for customers to check weather conditions and forecasts in their hometown or across the country, whenever they want. Not only is this feature available at no extra charge, it will be a great resource for our U-verse TV customers who want up-to-date and accurate weather information."

Weather On Demand Latest Addition to AT&T U-verse TV

Weather On Demand is the latest addition to the constantly evolving suite of features that has been introduced to all U-verse TV customers since the AT&T U-verse launch in June 2006.
