Ownership and funding

How weather.wtf is funded

Memberships

weather.wtf is funded by memberships. Members pay for a channel. Plans and prices are on the membership page.

Not for a byline

A membership does not buy the byline on a story. The byline is weather.wtf. The member is the source of their own photo.

Sponsorship

Morning news is sponsored by ElboTV. That sponsorship is labeled on the show. We do not sell story placement.

How stories are labeled

Trending stories name the reporting station. Member stories name the member as the source and carry the byline weather.wtf. The host is the narrator, not the author.

Related businesses

If weather.wtf publishes a story about a business that our founder owns or is involved with, such as the Elbo Room in Fort Lauderdale, the story says so plainly. The live beach cam is in partnership with the Elbo Room. The Elbo Room is a separate company. weather.wtf is not the Elbo Room and is not based there.
