Actually, BZ radio does occasionally call on BZ-TV's meteorologists
when the weather becomes newsworthy.  It was only a couple of weeks
ago, before some snowstorm or another arrived, that I heard Ed Carroll
talking about the approaching storm at the top of the hour on 1030.

I suspect that Westi... er, make that CBS... has a long-term contract
with the AccuWeather folks to handle the regular weather forecasts for
all the former-Westinghouse radio O&Os.  I know for a fact that KDKA
Pittsburgh, which also has a co-owned and co-located TV station, also
uses AccuWeather on the radio side.
