MADISON, Wis. /PRNewswire/ -- Weather Central LLC, provider of the world's most-viewed on-air, online, print, mobile and enterprise weather solutions, has helped Spain's leading broadcaster, Radio Television Espanola (RTVE), deploy a sophisticated new broadcast weather forecast, alert and news systems. The Weather Central 3D:LIVE? system enables RTVE to deliver precise and visually compelling weather information to millions of viewers both in Spain and worldwide.

The Head of the Area del Tiempo at Radio Television Espanola, Monica Lopez said, "We want RTVE to be the public's first choice for weather and news, so we set very high goals for our redesigned weather broadcasts. It is critical that the solution provide both a captivating look for the broadcast and extremely accurate forecasting. Weather Central has enabled RTVE to excel in every respect, integrating the very best weather data with stunning 3D graphics."

The solution for RTVE is built on Weather Central 3D:LIVE, a complete broadcast weather platform that integrates real-time data, 3D effects and animations, high resolution maps and comprehensive storytelling tools. Exclusive MagicTRAK? technology from Weather Central enables RTVE meteorologists to interact with data, maps and other elements while on air using the tip of their finger.
