Perhaps overlooked in the shakeup of WESH's anchors are the changes taking place in the WESH WeatherPlus storm center.
Morning vet Tony Mainolfi is getting the prime evening newscasts, with Amy Sweezey shifting to the noon and 4 p.m. shows. Since longtime chief meteorologist Dave Marsh left in 2006, no one on WESH's weather team was given his former title. Could this be a sign that Mainolfi will get Marsh's old title now that he has Marsh's old shows?
And, the WESH has added a fifth meteorologist to its staff to replace Mainolfi in the morning.
The new met is
Jason Brewer (right), who comes to WESH from Houston's KPRC-NBC 2. Brewer has been doing the weekend weather at the Houston station since May 2006. Previous to that he was the chief met at KOSA in Odessa, Texas, and also worked at WTVD-ABC 11 in Raleigh-Durham, N.C.
"Weather is one of the biggest reasons why our viewers watch local news. Therefore, our commitment to weather coverage will continue to expand," said WESH ND Barbara Maushard. "By adding Jason to our team, we will be able to offer our viewers even more team coverage of Central Florida weather on-air, on-line and on our digital weather channel, WESH 2 Weather Plus."
