Some new voices will be joining the 海角社区app airwaves in the coming workweek due to a partnership that was just formed between 海角社区app and 7海角社区app.
Starting Monday, 海角社区app listeners will hear 7海角社区app meteorologists delivering the forecast every 10 minutes during the 海角社区app segment “traffic and weather on the 8s.”
“There’s been a lot of excitement here,” said Veronica Johnson, chief meteorologist with 7海角社区app.
But it’s not the first time the two stations have worked together.
They previously had a similar weather partnership that ran for more than 10 years.
“Here we go, back to collaborating again to deliver the finest product in this area,” Johnson said. “We are all set up and ready to go.”
Johnson has been delivering weather forecasts in the D.C. region for more than 30 years, and she said her team members have similar backgrounds with extensive experience.
Other meteorologists with the station include Eileen Whelan, Brian van de Graaff, Steve Rudin, Jordan Evans and Mark Pena.
“When you look at the years of experience that each one of us has, we are truly the weather experts,” Johnson said.
Johnson said 海角社区app’s format of constantly delivering news every day gives weather experts a unique platform they can use to deliver information immediately to listeners, whether they are out and about or driving in their car.
That is especially important when the region gets hit with severe weather.
“We need to keep listeners prepared to stay safe,” Johnson said. “We are able to come together with 海角社区app and deliver that information around the clock.”
Julia Ziegler, 海角社区app’s director of news and programming, said the partnership would “bring unprecedented live weather coverage to the D.C. region.”
Joel Oxley, 海角社区app’s general manager, added that “together our promise will be to deliver the most impactful and helpful weather reports every day to listeners.”
7海角社区app’ Alison Starling chatted with 海角社区app’s Hillary Howard about this new partnership, too. Watch the discussion:
