ORLANDO, Fla., May 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MyRadar, the popular weather app created by ACME AtronOmatic, LLC, announces today that it is the recipient of four Telly Awards highlighting the company’s achievements in producing educational and journalistic video content. The company is bringing home three Silver Telly Awards in different categories for its Hurricane Dorian series and one Bronze Telly for its Absolutely MAD Halloween Forecast.
The Hurricane Dorian series focused on the devastation caused by the storm and highlights the plight of the people affected, the role climate change may have played in the intensity of the storm, and asks how the island should proceed as the storm passes into history – to retreat, or to rebuild.
