KXLY-TV, the ABC affiliate in Spokane, Wash., has introduced a new video archive Web site that offers access to a portion of the station’s video archives.

The site, available at video.kxly.com, offers over 10,000 clips dating back several years.

Users can stream video for free and even download clips to their own computers for a fee.

Courtesy of the Online Design Digest blog, NBC has rolled out a new look for WeatherPlus.com. The new design features a light blue background with individual content modules topped by dark blue headers.

Internal content has also been better organized and now features some nifty dynamic effects.

The site’s navigation now features drop-down menus that have dashed outlines that make them look oddly like coupons.

It will be interesting to see how this new direction for WeatherPlus.com plays into NBC Universal’s planned acquisition of the Weather Channel, which includes the hot domain Weather.com.

MSNBC.com has rolled out the red carpet on another individually-branded video-based site for gossip column “The Scoop.”
