After 13.5 years at the stations, meteorologist Mark Watkins was rather choked up this morning as he announced today that he was retiring and today would be his last day.
Heather Bricka will take his place on the stations' morning show.
Happy Retirement, Mark!

Whoa. I didn't expect to hear that. Thought it would be a "last week" type of announcement.
Yes, congratulations and happy retirement!
And enjoy "not wearing a stupid tie"

Wow, that came out of the blue! Hardly seems like it's been 13+ years already. Any word who the new chief will be?
Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

You know what Joe Charlevoix says....
Nothing you idiots.... Joe Charlevoix s been chief for 5 years now.... (EMINEM fans know the real lyrics)
He's locked in my basement .....
Godspeed Mark.... be safe in your retirement...
And that Eric guy on the Comma is awful.

It was nice to see someone so experienced and polished on the air, something you don't get a lot of in such a small market. Always enjoyed his forecasts, at least when he said it would be 75 and sunny.

So the Amphersand unveiled a new morning reporter .. Madison something (isn't all female news people named Madison right now) ..... she seemed very nervous this morning but did a great job... she has a future in news. now if Stinklair and the Amphersand would add their bios to their web page.....
