I have returned to this very short post,to put an ending to this thread.
The above mentioned newscastr/meteorologist has actually left NBC and returned here to Phoenix last week to be the weatherman on channel 5 (CBS).
It's kind of a touching reason actually.
After not only working for the network but also covering major storms and hurricanes (Katrina most notably).... Sean (seen) realized he was away from his family far too often and missed many of his daughters' firsts and other big family moments.
So,he gave up the lucrative network position,to be just the local newsperson he was 2 years ago.
Same guy,different channel. I think that's avery unselfish person.

Wish everyone was that way!
