About WeatherVision

Chris MacDonald,
Chief Meteorologist

Chris MacDonald is WeatherVision's chief meteorologist.  He delivers on-air weathercasts for many of WeatherVision's client stations and is responsible for the look and branding of all clients' weathercasts.

Chris has 4 years of TV weather experience, working in KY, TX, and MS. During that time he became intimately familiar with WSI weather graphics software--the same software used by WeatherVision.  This means Chris has the graphics skills to tailor weathercasts to a client's exact specifications.  Before starting his on-air career, Chris earned his degree in meteorology from Valparaiso University, near Chicago.  While there, Chris was selected for a prestigious internship with Tom Skilling, chief meteorologist at nationally-broadcast WGN-TV in Chicago.

As a FOX affiliate's Web director, Chris specialized in HTML and demo-targeted promotion using Web/social media, raising the station's page views by 30% in 60 days.  Chris looks forward to using his Web skills to meet the needs of today's clients, who want weather online and on-the-go.

To learn how WeatherVision can build a custom-branded weathercast that will realize ad revenue from hard-to-convince advertisers (such as those that only sponsor news/weather), or to learn how your station can gain sponsorship opportunities by having an online or mobile weather presence, contact Chris: chris@weathervision.com.
