The following is from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association con- cerning Chicago's Chanel 11 WTTW-TV. A.M. Weather, the award-winning aviation weather television program, is seen nationwide over 250 public television stations daily, but no longer Chicago. The program lasts 15 minutes each weekday morning and brings to the pilot the most accurate and up-to-date aviation weather information available. Regional and national data are given with 12- and 24-hour forecasting, winds aloft severe storm areas, weather shapers and overall weather conditions. The AOPA Air Safety Foundation is proud to be the founding and a continuing sponsor of this program. In the interest of greater aviation safety, this program, produced at the Maryland Center for Public Broadcasting, is available free to all Public Broadcasting Stations nationwide including WTTW Channel 11/Chicago. What can you do to bring A.M. WEATHER back to Chicago public television? Contact the General Manager by mail and let him know that you want A.M. WEATHER back on the air.
