Aside from the staff changes at KOVR, which debuted its new anchors, set and graphics this week... there have been some fairly significant weather changes on-air in the past six months.
Just this week, KXTV's chief meterologist Elyssa Lynn said she's leaving the station... as Darla Givens gets ready to come back from maternity leave.
It's a friendly parting according to Sam McMannis's report in the Sacramento Bee. (Always a good read. Bookmark the section).
Perhaps KMAX "Good Morning, Sacrmento" Chief weather-seer Tom Loffman will wind up at KXTV, since he's being replaced by sister KOVR's Cody Stark as a better fit for the show. That's according to KOVR/KMAX GM Bruno Cohen (quoted in the Bee). Cohen said Loffman would be doing some freelancing for KOVR.
If Loffman makes the switch, he'd be one of Sacramento's "old line" weathermen at KXTV, where Harry Stockman is holding forth on weekends after a lengthy absence from the local weather scene. Harry was first at KXTV after a stint at KCRA. Loffman's worked at KCRA, too.
Noon weather guy and reporter Gregg Lalka joined KXTV in June 2005, from KTVN, the Reno CBS affiliate.
Reno is were KTXL's main meterologist Pat Hambright went in September. He's reporting during KOLO's early evening newscasts and anchoring the 11 p.m. weekday broadcast. Hambright is another KCRA alum. He's another multi-faceted broadcaster... serving post-KCRA as news director at Chico's NBC station, KNVN, before KHSL-TV's management took over running the NBC station's shop.
KTXL promoted Kristina Werner to replace Hambright. She also came to 40 from KNVN. The station's website lists Louisa Hodge as the weekend weather forecaster.
But I could have sworn I saw former KXTV weekend weatherman (whose name I can't remember) on KTXL not long ago.
Interesting to note where the winds blow folks.
IIRC... KXTV's morning weatherwoman Monica Woods was the weekend forecaster at KTXL before moving to KXTV. She was replaced by Darla Givens, who also went to KXTV.
