True… I just know if you were in a severe weather area pretty much anywhere outside of California they wouldn’t hire you as a weather person unless you’re a bonified met. Except in small markets they’ll let that pass. I’m shocked to see it in New York with that Fox weather presenter at WNYW.

On the contrary... you can be a street reporter turned long term fill in with a 12 credit hour weather certificate from Penn State and get stuck on the air during a tornado warning. Then a month later you do sports when the main sports guy leaves and find time to report in between in market 14. True story.

FTVlive is reporting that Leticia Juárez is out at ABC7 and not because of cost cutting.  Anyone have deets on what happened?

With a heatwave coming to Southern California, KABC has decided to launch something called “Weather Change Alerts” and I guess anytime the weather makes a sudden change, they will issue this alert. It seems like they are trying to rip off CBS LA and their “Next Weather Alerts” but hopefully KABC is truly doing this for the benefit of the viewer and not just because another station in town is doing something similar.
