KARE 11 has parted ways with longtime meteorologist Sven Sundgaard. The local NBC affiliate posted the decision Friday on its Facebook page.
“Due to continued violations of KARE 11’s news ethics and other policies, we have made the decision to part ways with Sven Sundgaard,” the posting read. “We hope you continue to turn to KARE 11 for your news, traffic, weather and more.”
Within two hours, the posting had spurred more than 3,300 comments from viewers, many of whom commended the station’s decision, while others vowed to never watch KARE 11 again.
John Remes, KARE president and general manager, said he would not be commenting beyond his station’s public statement. Sundgaard’s bio and picture have been removed from KARE’s website.
