Mr. Tim) has found a new home in the country
music capital of the world, but the former WSMV
(NBC Channel 4) and WZTV (Fox Channel 17)
weatherman did not go to another local TV station.
Instead he signed on with Nashville.com
(one of the key properties in the Castello
Cities Internet Network, run by leading
geodomain investor/developers Michael
and David Castello.
Ross got his
start as a weatherman in Austin, Texas where he was voted "Best Weatherman In Texas" four years in a row by the
AP and UPI. He relocated to Nashville in 1999 and quickly rose to prominence as one of Nashville's most popular and beloved media personalities.
Commenting on his decision to jump from his old media
platform to a new one on the web, Ross said "The Internet is
the future of media and Nashville.com is the intuitive national and international Internet brand for Nashville and the surrounding
region. The Castello Brothers and CCIN have given me the freedom to really stretch my creative wings with Nashville.com and
Mr.
Tim's Daily Blog is only the beginning of our relationship."
Mr.
Tim joins
Nashville.com
David J Castello of
CCIN said, "My brother Michael and I are absolutely delighted to have someone with the magnitude of talent of Tim Ross become part of the Nashville.com
family. Nashville.com will broadcast Tim to a worldwide audience not attainable by any other Nashville brand or media."

from print, radio and TV as the Internet continues to
replace traditional outlets as primary media distribution
channel.
