Kudos to Debra Juarez, NBC-5 news director for hiring a meteorologist who fills out a wrap dress as good as or better than Zee! It ain't easy to do! The similarities between the two are not subtle.ĭespite being very "camera friendly" Scott has some pretty good experience to back up her pretty face, she's a 2007 graduate of Brown University, previously worked at WSEE-TV in Erie, Pennsylvania, before joining WBIR as weekend meteorologist in 2009. If GMA would let her wear that on the air, the ratings war would be over!Īnyway, as I was half watching, it took me until the 5 day forecast to realize that Ginger wasn't in fact Ginger, but Cheryl Scott of NBC affiliate WBIR-TV in Knoxville, Tennessee. Zee showed up in a jog bra, hoodie and shorts. One of my favorite "Chicago media moments" was three years ago, when we both were scheduled for a kayak lesson together. NOTE- If you have ever met Ginger Zee in person, she is pretty darn good looking.

GMA, is the major leagues of TV news, so the jump makes sense.ĭespite being friendly with Ginger (named after the Gilligan's Island Character) I only noticed that she was gone in December of last year while I was watching Channel 5 and thought, "man Ginger must be doing something different, she looks amazing!"
In October, Channel 5 meteorologist Ginger Zee's contract ran out and she headed off to brighter pastures in the form of Good Morning America, more money and a great opportunity! She had been making occasional appearances on NBC’s Today since early last year, once you get a taste of network TV, it's hard to turn back. It's the on air equivalent of the "shell game." Or the flip side, if the reaction is so awful (think back to Jon Kelley at NBC 5 Sports), they have the ability to boot the person, bring in a new on air personality and the cycle starts all over again. Just about the time viewers truly realize that there has been a change, they are accustomed to the new person and life goes on. They shuffle around their schedules, see how people react, break them in slowly to the new audience. It's true, we don't actually mentally register that a new person is reading us the news for about a year (on average). Unless it's a major change, like Fahey Flynn passing away(for all you old school channel 7 fans), when they have a staff member leave and another come on board, it usually takes about a year for people to notice that there has actually been a change.
Here's a little bit of info that a lot of news directors rely on when it comes to replacing their on air talent.
