Director's Alert: Bruce Kalinowski Joins Channel 3

Former Weather Channel and hometown Meteorologist Bruce Kalinowski will be joining the WKYC Weather Plus forecasting team.

The Director's Cut Blog has learned that Bruce will be teaming up with Betsy Kling, Hollie Strano and AJ Colby to become a station meteorologist.

Bruce will be mainly seen on our weekend newscasts and filling in as needed for Hollie, Betsy and AJ.

Bruce has been working in the local market for the past 8 years... first at the CBS affiliate and now at WKYC.

Prior to that, Bruce was a familiar face on "The Weather Channel" under the name of Bruce Edwards from 1982 until 2000. Bruce and Andre Bernier were the very first on camera meteorologists to be seen by viewers when the Weather Channel launched on May 2, 1982 at 8 PM. (To watch video of that launch: CLICK HERE)

Bruce also worked for a time at our Gannett sister station, WTLV/WJXX in Jacksonville, Florida.

We always knew Bruce was from Cleveland, cause he always referred to us at the "Best Location in the Nation." Bruce is a graduate of Kent State University with a B.A. in Telecommunications. Bruce is currently a member of the American Meteorological Society, Seal #426.

Welcome Bruce to the Channel 3 family.
