Touch Screen Weather Bulletins in Africa!



After months of development and testing the touch-screen interface for our 103" Plasma television was launched last night during my PrimeTime Weather Bulletin in Africa. This is a one of a kind system that features some of the latest technology available in Weather Broadcasting. I am happy to have been a part of its development.

A job well done to my weather staff @ e.tv and e.news, the software developers in Berlin, Germany (MeteoGraphics) and the "U-Touch" team in London. A collaborative effort to make a dream come to reality.

Thank You.

    Derek, Congratulations on your launch of the touch sreen technology. I know how hard and long you have been working on it. You need to share this video with your associates and peers in the USA. We are very proud of your accomplishments. Dad
