Applications of Community Antenna Television (Catv) Systems to Public Weather Dissemination

摘要

The study was undertaken to examine the present and future potential of Community Antenna Television (CATV) systems for disseminating public weather information. The study reviews the development and growth of CATV and suggests some possible weather applications. It is concluded that an all-weather channel on CATV holds considerable potential for providing the general public with a full-time weather information service. It is further concluded that general availability of such service to the public is dependent on growth of CATV market areas to make it economically feasible to support the cost of the weather service.
