Stations that Show the Time and Temp Bug on All Newscasts

Here in Boston, WBZ, WHDH (and sister station WLVI) and WFXT show the time and temperature on all their newscasts. I think WCVB only does on their morning newscast.

KPIX has the Time bug on their logo. but its based on how the other CBS O&O's does them.

However sister station KCNC 4 here in Denver shows the temp as well. Beyond that, I think the only two news departments that do it all the time are the duopolies (KWGN 2/KDVR 31 & KUSA 9/KTVD 20). KMGH 7 only does it during the morning newscast

Cheers ;D
 
Atlanta:
Channel 2 Action News
FOX 5 News
11 Alive (the worst with the rundown, bug and scrolling headlines on the bottom)
CBS Atlanta

...they all have bugs for every newscast. However, Channel 2 and CBS Atlanta only showtemps for the evening and late night newscats.
 
Another question on this: When did this start? Anyone know who started it, and when? And when did it become commonplace? My guess is it started sometime in the 90's, but didn't become commonplace well into the 21st century. But I don't know for sure.
