Read article. http://www.robertfeder.com/2014/08/16/weather-bulletin-cheryl-scott-leaving-nbc-5/#more-4596 Also mentioned in the article is that Byron Miranda who is currently doing weather on weekends at KNBC will be joining WMAQ. He will do weather for the 11am news. Alicia Roman will take over Cheryl's spot on the weekends.

Jase 1056 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 It's cool that Byron is coming back. Not sure this is a good move by Scott. It's always best to keep the job you have while exploring other opportunities.

24994J 5589 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'll betcha a lot of money that someone told her and/or her agent that she's the next Ginger Zee, in looks, age, WMAQ position, etc, and it's cemented in her mind that nothing but absolute greatness awaits. I like Cheryl, but it's said that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice.

24994J 5589 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Is it so obvious? I tried to be more subtle. As for the return of Byron, I personally have never really understood his appeal. I don't mind him, but it seems like such a big deal every time he bounces to another station.

Spring Rubber 705 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 So now they've got Bryon Miranda and Mike Adamle back. Anybody else from the turn of the century they might care to bring back?

I don't mind him, but it seems like such a big deal every time he bounces to another station. He is what I would consider a traditional weatherman. He has a straightforward approach and can balance being serious when the time calls for it and laidback otherwise. These days, 'MAQ is the type of station that will happily welcome back former employees (as long as they didn't burn any bridges the 1st time around).

24994J 5589 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Would it be safe to assume, though, that if this line-up holds for a time, that Byron just got tossed to the front of the line to succeed Brant? I'm assuming he's younger than Andy, who's 57, and keeping in mind that Andy didn't exactly thrive for long in the chief role in the 90's.

I'm assuming he's younger than Andy, who's 57, and keeping in mind that Andy didn't exactly thrive for long in the chief role in the 90's. Yes. Things were pretty much headed that way before he left. If I remember correctly, Byron worked the midday/afternoon shift (11/Noon & 4:30) and was the primary sub for Brant. No doubt, they are going back to this succession plan. Andy seems to like his role and likely doesn't want to be Chief. Management didn't handle things well back then (forcing Jim Tilmon out,etc...), so I would expect a much smoother transition when Brant retires.
