NBC 5 hires Jennifer Lopez as new meteorologist
April 20th, 2008 admin Posted in News |
KXAS-TV/NBC 5’s March decision to fire meteorologist Rebecca Miller after nearly 17 years with the station incited a stormy response from viewers. But expect clear skies ahead when the station’s newest hire Jennifer Lopez, a network meteorologist on The Weather Channel since 2000, begins in June.
Lopez, a native of St. Augustine, Fla., was hired after a nationwide search. She will forecast and present the weather during NBC 5 News from 5-7 a.m. weekdays.
The similarities between the meteorologist and the actress/singer Jennifer Lopez end with the name. The meteorologist’s husband is a Southwest Airlines pilot and on military leave to help relocate a Navy DC-9 squadron from Atlanta to Fort Worth.
