Lorain: 440-246-1234 used to be time and weather, but only gives the time now.

We got two in Columbus:

(614) 469-1010 - operated by WBNS-10TV

thanks any more out there

this thread kinda creeps me out

^I don't know about creepy, but I am curious what the point of these lines is in an era of internet and smartphones.

I used to call the 281-8211 all the time when I was little.

 

Mom's not good with the internet and high speed internet isn't in the cards down at the farm. No smartphone for her either. She's into the weather radio. 30 percent of the U.S. doesn't have high speed internet available. City folk forget this.

ok so any more lines with area codes if  didi not post the area coads please do so now

spme work

 

sorry some work

Cincinnati 513-721-1700

 

When I was a kid it was Shillito's Time

at the tone the time will be, 1996.....beep

I bet people who live in San Diego don't know anything about these weather lines and weather radios. I bet they don't even know the names of their local meteorologists. Whereas here this stuff controls every aspect of our lives.

ok, this actually came up on a Springfield FB page...

It WAS 325-4611

It was associated with a bank I think..

It would have been FAirfax 54611 prior to the 70s.

216-WE1-1212

 

When I was young, 216-WE1-1212 was the number for weather, and 216-GR1-1212 was the number for time.  I was told GR stood for Greenwich.  For a time in the 1990's, I seem to also remember 216-881-0880 was a time/weather number.

Not that I am suggesting all of Urban Ohio start crank calling anyone, buuuuuuttttt... if you re bored... or drunk later on tonight, I dare you to call (216) GR1-1212.

 

 

If for anything, just to listen to the voicemail message. I wonder how many people call this guy.
