Maple Media Acquires NOAA Hi-Def Radar App

Los Angeles-based mobile app developer Maple Media says it has acquired the mobile application NOAA Hi-Def Radar, which provides weather information, from The E.W. Scripps Company. Financial terms of the acquisition were not announced. NOAA Hi-Def Radar had been acquired by Scripps in 2014, after Scripps acquired WeatherSphere. According to Maple Media, NOAA Hi-Def Radar is one of the highest grossing weathers apps on the App Store, and provides radar, forecasts, and alerts. Maple Media CEO Michael Ritter said, in a statement, that the company had been seeking to expand its portfolio of apps to include weather for some time. Maple Media is backed by Shamrock Capital.
