Knew this was coming ever since he moved from mornings. Kevin just has a smaller role during WC. All he does is present iWitness Weather pics and fills in for either Cantore or Steele.

But anyways, he was an okay OCM and I wish him all the best.  :itsok:

Wow, we have yet another OCM laid off from TWC.  Hope Kevin does well at his new job ahead.

I don't think he's being laid off, he's leaving by choice.

Yeah, I believe it is done by choice as well. Yet, imo, he made a better choice (not saying I don't like him or anything).

I'm gonna miss Kevin, I didn't like him at first but now I think he's a cool laid back guy and he has a sense of humor, I wish him good luck on his new Chief Met job, if it was me I would leave too right about now they basically took him from being a main host on a popular morning show to a 3rd wheel on WC (not saying anything was wrong with him being on WC)

I'm gonna miss Kevin. I enjoyed him very much and he had always smiled and joked on air. But chief met is better, he doesn't deserve to be in the tarnished image of TWC anyways

It took me awhile to get used to Kevin too, but he eventually warmed up into me. He was really funny when he started working with Jim and Alexandra. Here's a perfect example of that...

Same here. He will be missed.

I've always liked Kevin.  I've always liked the way he presents himself.  Like Ana said, I think that he is better off at a local television station, rather than a small role on Weather Center at TWC.  Good luck to Kevin!

WLWT is known for having a revolving door of personalities. Kevin will be the eighth chief meteorologist at the station in the last 15 years. The previous chief left after working a split shift (morning show + 5:00 & 5:30 news) for around six months. According to the press release, Kevin will only be working the evening shows.

I heard that Kevin made an announcement on air during Weather Center about his leave...I didnt catch it, I heard about it via twitter.

That's the same article Nywxguy posted in the first place.

I didn't hear it, either. :no:
I'm going to miss Kevin a lot. He was funny, and had a crazy sounding laugh. :yes:
But, I know he's going to do great at his new job come January. Best of luck to him.  :yes:

Good for him!  A chief meteorologist job is a sweet gig.  Best of luck to him!  (Don't know much about the station where he's going, but I understand that Cincy is a good market.)

Indeed. Much better than the side kick gig TWC has him doing.

A chief meteorologist is the meteorologist in charge right? If so, this would indeed be a better job for him.

WLWT has their own channel for weather updates on my cable.  I see him all the time (well, during the week).  Otherwise, I watch it for Valerie Abati - she is a HOTTIE!.
