Allen Media Group recently announced a new initiative that would see meteorologists at The Weather Channel delivering forecasts for their local stations

The new initiative will be rolled out across 27 stations and feature "additional visual storytelling capabilities," Allen Media Group says.

Allen Media Group announced sweeping cuts that will see all of local meteorologists eliminated or reassigned at its nearly two dozen television stations nationwide.

Local meteorologists broadcast tearful goodbyes as Allen Media Group – which owns nearly two dozen TV stations across the country – replaced them with a feed from The Weather Channel, according to a report.
