StoryTeller Continues Interactive Content Expansion with Live Polling, Providing Complete TV News Presentation SolutionSTATE COLLEGE, Pa., April 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AccuWeather Global Weather Center -- AccuWeather, Inc., the global leader in weather information and digital media, continues to dramatically expand its StoryTeller® Interactive Touchscreen Solution content and capabilities for fast, easy, and effective local TV news presentations, featured at the 2015 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show® this week. Through StoryTeller's interactive Polling Application, broadcasters can incorporate live, customized audience polling into news stories with new Twitter hashtag voting capabilities as well as through station websites. The application also includes new enhanced graphics, 3D views, and multiple poll view features, sharing viewer poll results in real time on-air through engaging, interactive presentations that will appeal to a digital-savvy audience. StoryTeller Polling set-up and reporting is simple and seamless. In minutes, broadcasters can quickly enter polling questions on any national, regional, or local trending topic in StoryTeller's easy automated editor, choose their polling presentation view, and invite viewers to provide feedback. As viewers place their votes, the Polling Application automatically tabulates the results for real-time, on-air audience feedback and news story impact. New Polling Application capabilities will be demonstrated in StoryTeller by AccuWeather – the complete interactive touchscreen solution for the entire news presentation, including weather, sports, social media, traffic, crime, special events, and more – for the first time at the 2015 NAB Show in AccuWeather Booth #SL6009. "To lead in your market, real-time audience engagement is a necessity for live broadcasts. Instead of a one-way approach to communicating a story, this creates a true sense of involvement with the station and their community, attracting and retaining digital-savvy viewers, Loren Tobia, Vice President of Sales for AccuWeather's Display Systems and Services division said. "What's even more compelling about the StoryTeller solution is that we've designed it to be straight-forward and easy for stations to implement. There's no sophisticated coding or advanced programming skills required. The Polling Application makes it simple to create polls in minutes through StoryTeller." At NAB 2015, AccuWeather is introducing additional new and enhanced StoryTeller features that will transform local news operations. Ground-breaking enhancements including new integration of Baron Services, all-new traffic application with Radiate Media, streamlined social media and UGC functionality, and Drone HD video integration – plus enhanced real-time polling – will be demoed at the show at AccuWeather Booth #SL6009.
