Weather Channel Places Video Ads on Mobile Site

The Weather Channel is looking to capitalize on the success of its mobile presence so far by introducing video and local ad offerings. The company will share its plan with advertisers tonight at its 2008 upfront presentation.

With an average of 6.3 million unique users a month, The Weather Channel Mobile ranked as the second most popular mobile Web site in 2007 behind Yahoo Mail, and the most popular content site overall, according to Nielsen Mobile. Video forecasts were made available on the site for the first time last year. More here from ClickZ.
