WTNH (News 8) Hartford is joining forces with iHeartMedia's nine Connecticut outlets to provide coverage of weather state-wide. Now, whenever a listener is tuned to an iHeartMedia station on-air or streaming, they can expect to hear updated weather forecasts from familiar voices of Co-Chief Meteorologists Gil Simmons, Joe Furey and the other members of Storm Team 8. Also, in times of severe weather, Storm Team 8 will provide extended weather coverage to iHeartMedia stations to keep listeners safe and informed.
"This partnership stems from a desire to better serve the community," said WTNH News 8 Vice President and General Manager Rich Graziano.
