Both WPXI and WTAE recently made new meteorologist hires this year. But regardless, I don't see Jeff being gone for too long.
KDKA just recently hired Ray Petelin from WTAE, and it wouldn't surprise me if they name him the new chief meteorologist because he has been a favorite with viewers.
Wow! I sure hope so. Like WJZ with their set, WFMJ needs to join the 21st century and launch a 5pm newscast. They even have an hour-long noon news, for crying out loud.
