Joe Witte: found it:
Washington— 5-5-2003- Allbritton's WJLA-TV, which is channel 7 in Washington, and the company's NewsChannel 8 cable channel went on a hiring spree last week. News Vice President Bill Lord, who oversees both operations, got a news director for the ABC affiliate (Jamie Foster, WFAA-TV Dallas executive producer); a weekend morning anchor for NewsChannel 8 who will also work as a reporter for the TV station (Leslie Cook, KXAN-TV Austin, Texas, 10 p.m. co-anchor); and a weekend weathercaster for WJLA-TV (Joe Witte, CNBC chief meteorologist).
Witte, CNBC's chief meteorologist for the past four years, has BS and MS degrees in meteorology. He has worked at WNBC-TV New York, NBC-TV's News at Sunrise and Sunday Today and anchored the A&E series Disaster Chronicles. "Joe Witte," says Lord, "is a big catch for us. He's a phenomenal weathercaster."
