I’d guess that Leslie will remain on mornings and Ron will do evenings until they get a replacement. Weekend weather, like last time someone was off for a week, will be piped un from Traverse City or K-zoo

I was told by a few people there that they had Ahmad in on the process of picking the next chief, and that he met one on one specifically with the person chosen. To me that sounds like the new person should at least know how to handle that newsroom.

Here's hoping. Also, that person knows the actual ins and outs of the weather department, so they can't be told a bunch of bullshit.

Looks like he left fox17 to have a very short term at weathernation before disappearing on all social. I'm surprised they tagged a social media account with such a black out in posting.

Erik is a good hire. I’ve been impressed with his presentation so far.

I like him too. I sure Ahmad having input in the decision led to hiring someone like him.

Ahmad just announced the rumor is true, taking the job at 62. He didn't say what his exact position is though. Is he chief?

Looks like they already have 2 other meteorologists there, Kylie Miller (formerly of 25/66 and then 5) and someone else. Doesn’t look like that ANYONE has been named Chief yet

I didn't know Kylie was at 25. Must have been very brief. Shouldn't speculate more, but that image with Ahmad and the three others are *probably* the evening crew. The way he said building from the ground sounds like he is in charge, aka, Chief. But I could certainly be wrong.

Kylie worked weekends there while still going to CMU and after graduation. She left to go south to WeatherNation then came back up here to TV5
