We're not sure who's winning the ratings war in Houston, but we're going to give the upper-hand to KHOU based on these shots alone. As you can clearly see in the image above (and the enlarged versions there in the gallery), this newscaster is wielding a
Wiimote. It's hard to say if the news station actually has their slide transitions setup to change with a swing of the controller, or if weather map zooming is handled with something typically used for gaming, but one thing's for darn sure -- lightning rounds of Wii bowling during commercial breaks are
definitely happening.

Update: Whoa, looks like this was indeed the real deal. Check the
details here!

Dammit, Texas! You get all the cool stuff in the SW!
Surprised that she isn't using Sony's Prego stick.
Looks like I need to watch more cbs11!
Wiimote FTW!
Mmm... heavy handed product placement.
No wrist strap? Goodbye Channel 11 TV equipment! :D
No Wiimote Plus adapter either. Her gestures just won't measure as precisely.
Silly woman, that's for video games!
Shes not wearing the rubber sleeve OR the wrist strap. For shame! Thats a broken weather monitor waiting to happen.
Hells yeah!

So its that the new Weather Hero for Wii ??
LOL, at my work some write up on employee benefits that my company provides, stated we had a lounge with a Wii. It's actually a Mac Mini connected to the customer service/marketing TV that they store in the lunch area.
I had not noticed her using a Wii Remote. I'll have to pay closer attention in the morning.
She's nice and does a decent job but
BRING BACK DARBY DOUGLAS!
They've been through four different women in less than two years since they let him go and he was damn funny.
If you think she is nice you should take a look at the NBC/KPRC traffic personality Jennifer Reyna.

I watch KHOU for the news and click over to KPRC for traffic.
