His last day before his new Chicago gig is April 7.


My furthest DTV tropo: KDKA Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 202 miles for three days in January 2017 and a night in September 2017 with only an Antennas Direct C2V!

Current setup: Antennas Direct C2Max (2018-present)

It seemed like he would hardly work a full week now. You're seeing Hally Vogel or Mike Taylor work on a Tuesday. Even Keenan did the weather recently.

Ive felt like Hally Vogel should get the morning spot for years. She's been there long enough to leave weekends.

NBC 5 is a highly regarded station. Good for him!

Hally did morning in Grand Rapids for years and was great. Was sad to see her go but from what I understand the WZZM weather team is not an enjoyable place to be

Mike Taylor was featured on the new WXYZ morning show promo that ran today.

The weekend morning show has Jenn Schanz working from downtown now. I'm not sure why?

Nothing but darkness down there at 6am and I can see the monitors reflection in the windows. They also had Hally doing a feature interview.

That downtown fish bowl studio is the dumbest thing imaginable. I hoped it was gone for good.

Actually, scratch that. The promos for the revamped weekend morning newscast are the dumbest thing imaginable. The V/O guy sounds like an overly excited fruitcake in them.

Your toxic masculinity is showing, MW.

I read that Mike Taylor will be moving to the mornings, as a 7 morning viewer I think it’s a great move. He does a nice job of not getting to fired up about upcoming storms and breaks them down well-His freak out meter seems to be on point lol

In a related move Haleigh Vaughn from FOX 17 in Grand Rapids is filling in on weekend evenings this month. I assume this is to buy time to get a fourth permanant meteorologist. She's ok but seems to have a habit of repeating the phrases she uses.

Marisa Woloszyn from Milwaukee… from what I can see she looks like she will be decent. 7 Seems to be hiring better talents than they were 5-10 years ago.

While the Milwaukee viewing area was getting pounded by a big winter storm with over 10" of heavy, wet snow in spots, knocking out power for 110,000 people. Trees and powerlines were down because of the weight of the snow. Schools were canceled, and traffic was a mess.

But WTMJ Met Marisa Woloszyn is asking viewers to check out her shoes as she gives the Friday “Shoecast.”
Something to look forward to?

Marisa Woloszyn grew up in the area.

That seems to be the trend. I think it probably makes them more likely to stay long term too. Not a bad strategy. A bunch of the talent at 7 is like that… not sure about 2 or 4.
