NEW WEATHER CAMERA NETWORK
The city council approved the use of a city pole overlooking the bay and pier for a camera and weather station for the new Alabama Weather Camera Network, Llc. -- co-owned by well- known meteorologists James Spann and John Oldshue.
According to their website,
"Alabama Weather Network is Alabama’s 24/7 source for smart, serious, and locally focused weather.
Founded by legendary meteorologist James Spann and a team of veteran
broadcasters, technologists, and communicators, the Alabama Weather
Network (AWN) was built to do one thing: serve the people of Alabama
with accurate, life-saving weather information—every day, every hour, on
every screen.
With deep roots in this state and a profound respect for the power of
weather, we’ve created a new kind of weather channel—one that never
signs off, never misses a moment, and never forgets who it’s for. From
sunshine to storm season, we’re always on, always local, and always
looking out for Alabama."
The AWN already has cameras on a broadcast tower in Spanish Fort and on top of a wing of the Grand Hotel in Pt. Clear.
In return for the space, the AWN will provide real time weather-safety information for Fairhope residents and promote the city to other viewers, according to councilman Burrell.
No dates were mentioned for the installation and beginning of use.

Agreement.
