* WeatherReport: Sort of. While some tracks do have weather-related names, that's not the main reason for this trope. Up until their switch to in-house production tracks in 2013, The Weather Channel frequently used Rippingtons songs during their 30-120 second Local Forecast (later Local on the 8s) segments. Brave New World, the title track from 1996's Brave New World, was even featured again in 2016-17 as The Weather Channel began using smooth jazz tracks they themselves had licensed for two compilation albums in 2007 and 2008.

In the early to mid-1990s they were closer to a jazz/rock instrumental band, but since 1999 they have developed into the smooth jazz genre. Many of their songs have also been played during The Weather Channel's local on the 8's forecast segments. The band's mascot is a blue, grinning, sunglasses-wearing, jazz cat which appears in the artwork of all the band's releases and on their official website.

The Rippingtons are a contemporary {{jazz}} group mainly relating to the genres smooth jazz, jazz pop, and crossover jazz. Formed in 1986 by guitarist and band leader Russ Freeman, their career has spanned four decades. With a revolving door of musicians, Freeman has been the only consistent member.
In the early to mid-1990s they were closer to a jazz/rock instrumental band, but since 1999 they have developed into the smooth jazz genre. Many of their songs have also been played during The Weather Channel's local on the 8's forecast segments. The band's mascot is a blue, grinning, sunglasses-wearing, jazz cat which appears in the artwork of all the band's releases and on their official website.
