As a result of unprecedented demand during its FREE iMapWeather Radio day campaign, which took place on May 19, 2011, weather leader Weather Decision Technologies Inc., (WDT) exceeded its goal of contributing 100,000 FREE iMapWeather Radios to the cause of national weather safety. The company distributed more than 185,000 downloads during the course of the day, extending the free period beyond the original threshold - for more than three hours - to 8pm EDT.
The application rose to the number one spot on the iTunes store for all free applications, and number one for all weather applications. Media companies from all over the United States participated in the all-day campaign.
"Many thanks to our customers and all the media partners who helped make this campaign and contribution to national weather safety a tremendous success," said Mike Eilts, President and CEO of WDT.
