Palm Beach Post – Page Two reports that WPTV’s meteorologist Rob Lopicola has left the station abruptly and nobody seems to know why. Personal issues were mentioned but no one knows for sure. Lopicola was a meterologist at WPTV for 8 years.
Meanwhile 5′s chief meteorologist Steve Weagle has been signed for 5 more years

Did Lopicola storm out of channel 5 gig?


7 already giving preview of the new graphics?
The new promo “See It on 7″ with the weird 7 logo and glass-looking elements must be a preview of 7′s new graphics. I’m speculating here but we’re 4 days away from sweeps and last time around the all-red themes with chrome showed up in the May of 01 sweeps promo, with the graphics debuting in November ’01.
