Would he want to be full time? I thought I have read here on Buzzboard that WDIV is kind of a side gig for him.
His main employment is corporate weather, or testifying in court what the weather was on a certain day.
Something along those lines.
I am getting "old-timers" so I may not have all that quite right.

Weather forecasts: a very expensive version of a homeless person speculating possible paths of an empty plastic shopping bag in expressway traffic.

The NWS website replaced the last TV weather forecast I watched: WJRT's weather subchannel.

I remember once when Chuck Gaidica was on the radio, and it was his birthday, and some black guy called in and said his birthday was the day before. The black guy then said, "Just think, if I had been born today, and you had been born yesterday, I might have been a white guy on TV doing weather forecasts, and you might have been an unemployed black man."

Great radio moment. :o
All along the icy wastes, there are faces smiling in the gloom.
