Our local NBC affiliate always has (still has?) weather updates at the bottom of the hour. I didn't think WeatherPlus was available/known in all markets, whereas The Weather Channel is what it is. What I don't recall seeing is NBC WeatherPlus updates tied directly to Home Depot. Seems they're mostly running these new local weekend weather ads in their comedy shows, http://www.tvweek.com/news/2009/04/forecast_in_national_home_depo.php The experiment will end this week. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
