Chief-O 31 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Just days after wishing Tom Mahoney farewell, WFRV today welcomed another Green Bay WX legend back to TV. Former WLUK meteorologist John Chandik made his Local 5 debut this morning. Given the choice of words at the top of the broadcast, it sounds as though he's not just there on a temporary/"fill-in" basis. ETA: They mentioned later on in the show that he is there just as a weekend fill-in until they hire a new meteorologist. Still nice to see him back on TV, though!

Lamberty’s bio has been stripped from the WHDH website, and no word on who will replace Lamberty as anchor.

Jterry 43 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Gil Tyree, former sports director/anchor of WGCL CBS 46 is now the new main sports director/anchor of WATN Local 24. I noted this in the WATN thread as well, but one side note - he is not the sports director, just their main weekday anchor. WATN has had a sports director for a while now that works primarily off-air (unusual I know).

TVIntheDesert 183 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Now that's got me thinking, WATN 2013 feels more like KTVK in 1993, with Harper and Tyree both there.

Chief-O 31 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Just read on the Twitters that WISN's Luke Sampe will be taking the chief meteorologist job at WFRV. Not sure when he'll be starting.
