WSI DEBUTS TRUEVIEW TITAN SYSTEM, WITH NEW VORTEX PRECISION WEATHER FORECASTING, AT NAB 2004

(Andover, Mass. and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show, Las Vegas, April 14, 2004) - WSI Corporation, the leading provider of weather data and graphics services for broadcast and cable television, will introduce TrueView TITAN, with Vortex Precision Forecasting, at the NAB convention. Visitors to NAB Booth C8112 will be able to explore the benefits of this powerful new system, which delivers high performance weather forecast accuracy with an update frequency unprecedented in the industry.


TrueView TITAN: Whether it's used during a thunderstorm, blizzard or driving rain, or other breaking weather events such as gale force winds or a scorching heat wave, WSI's new TrueView TITAN utilizes volumetric radar data to create dramatic 3-D images with embedded real-time lightning that reveal severe weather as it's never been seen before. TITAN works with WSI's Vortex Severe forecasting engine, the high-powered radar and forecast service introduced at last year's NAB. Along with its ability to display live Level 2 data from the nationwide NEXRAD network, Vortex Severe now generates more precise forecasts of developing weather.

Vortex Precision Forecasting: A culmination of a nearly two year research and development effort, WSI's new Vortex Precision Forecasting provides continuously updating data that keep forecasters and viewers ahead of the weather. Threatening weather events can be captured and visualized long before they appear on the radar. Representing a substantial up-front investment and long-term commitment by WSI, the leading provider of neighborhood weather forecasts, Precision Forecasting will aid broadcasters in achieving superior hyper-local weather coverage.

More of the leading U.S. broadcasting and cable companies choose WSI than any other weather provider -- with a 50 percent share of the market, this is more than all other weather vendors combined.
