As far as I know, KHOU-TV 11 is still the only one of the 3 major stations in Houston with mets with an actual 4 year degree (of course, Dr. Frank has a doctorate) in meteorology.

Houston has three local stations with actual mets???? Lucky.

News from Atlanta:

WGCL-TV has lost two of its more popular on-air personalites, evening anchor/reporter Cynne Simpson and meteorologist Gene Norman. Simpson has been there for three years. Norman has been at the station a relatively long time, arriving in 2000. The CBS affiliate, which is just getting over the Cari Champion “mothersucka” firing, had stabilized management and staff the past two years after several years of turnover.

No word on where Simpson is going. Subscription-only NewsBlues reports that Norman is moving to Fox affiliate KRIV-26 in Houston to be that station’s primary meteorologist. (NewsBlues on Thursday said it erred. Norman is actually going to the CBS affiliate KHOU-11 in Houston.)

This summer, Troy Dungan retired from doing the weather on WFAA-TV in Dallas/Fort Worth, but he's still around to do the annual "Santa's Helper's Toy Drive".
