Where Are They Now?: Terry Burhans

This month on the Director's Cut Blog, we have been busy tracking down former WKYC Meteorologist Terry Burhans for our monthly "Where Are They Now?" feature.

For those of you watching WKYC in the late 80s/early 90s, Terry was a colorful part of the Channel 3 Weather Team with Meteorologist Steve Brown branded as "Brown and Burhans." His humor and unique style made him one of Cleveland's most talked about personalities on the air at the time. Steve & Terry starred in the station's very first High Definition Video promotional spot.

Today, Terry calls San Diego home. He's currently forecasting at the Fox Affiliate, XETV Channel 6 handling the weekend duties for both the morning and evening broadcasts.

His 10 PM weekend weather reports have been a part of Fox 6 since 2000. Every Saturday & Sunday morning from 7 to 9 am, Terry also does the weather updates for their local show "Fox in The Morning." He reports live from locations around San Diego at interesting and memorable events.

Terry started his broadcast career in Baton Rouge while a Journalism student at Louisiana State University. While in the Army, he trained as a meteorologist. After graduating from LSU with a B.S. in Journalism in 1978, he was off to Chicago to broadcast for the NBC Owned and Operated station, WMAQ.

From there, Terry blew into Cleveland at WKYC. In 1992, San Diego called and he's been there ever since. His wife of 25 years and their 20 year old son live in Tierrasanta,CA. Also since 2000, Terry has taught in the Media Communications Department at Grossmont College.

If you would like to contact Terry, you can reach him at XETV, 8253 Ronson Road, San Diego, CA 92111.
