Stations who do time and temperature updates

WLS, WMAQ, and WGN all do it in Chicago.

WABC, WNBC, and WCBS do it in NYC.

Are there any other stations in the country that still do time and temperature checks during station breaks and syndicated programming?
 
Every Wednesday and Friday at 8 P.M., a voice says "time and temperature" and the temperature is shown on WSOC-TV Charlotte, NC. The time always changes from 7:59 to 8:00 and then we are told the shows that ABC will have that night. Some nights they mess up and don't start the network announcement right on time, but they're usually pretty good. I can't speak for the other nights because I don't watch then. You would think Sunday nights at 7 would be included but I can't recall them doing that then.
 
Atlanta: WSB/ch. 2 (ABC) and WGCL/ch. 46 (CBS) do it occasionally.

The OP specifically said "Are there any other stations in the country that still do time and temperature checks during station breaks and syndicated programming?" (emphasis added)

No one cares what they did when you were a kid.
 
...when I lived in Phoenix, all the major English commercial stations -- KTVK/3, KPHO/5, KSAZ/10, KPNX/12, KAZT/27, KUPT/45, KPPX/51 and KASW/61 -- did that 24/7, probably due to the long stretches of 100-plus high temperatures Phoenix experiences. I assume the Spanish stations did the same, but I don't recall if the PBS affiliate, KAET/8, also did...
