RTV6 and WIBC-FM announced a partnership Monday to cover news and weather across central Indiana.

RTV6 meteorologists Kevin Gregory, Todd Klaassen and Stephanie Ortmann will provide forecasts throughout the day on WIBC, 93.1 and will also provide live updates during severe weather situations.

"By working together, we can offer viewers and listeners the most extensive news and weather coverage in central Indiana," said WRTV Vice President and General Manager Larry Blackerby. "Our team is looking forward to working with the largest radio newsroom in the state and offering our resources to grow and serve both of our audiences."

Charlie Morgan, vice president and market manager for Emmis Communications, which owns WIBC, stressed the versatility of the partnership.

"In our 21st Century world of news and information consumption, it just makes sense for our TV and radio newsrooms to work together to ensure we are delivering the most relevant information to our consumers wherever they are -- at home, at work, in their cars, wherever," Morgan said. "This partnership will allow us to provide Indianapolis viewers and listeners with the latest information wherever they are, whether they are listening to the radio, watching TV, going online or on their mobile phones."
