Default AWOS Funding?

Here in Georgia the local TV stations use the AWOS reports
of the various airports to provide temperature and dewpoint
and baro readings from towns around in the region. I assume
its the same in most, if not all of the states.


I've often wondered why our local radio/TV stations don't use the
readily available AWOS information, but they don't. I guess it's just
more "folksy" to use their "spotters" around the state, like "Bill in
Ottumwa..."
