Wes Hohenstein is an American on-camera meteorologist for WNCN (NBC-17) in Raleigh, North Carolina who holds the American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval. Hohenstein brings viewers the weather on WNCN News at 6, 7 and 11 p.m. Hohenstein has worked for WNCN since 2006. He has also worked in Louisiana, Utah, Texas and Arizona. Hohenstein is best known for his Sunshine Award while in Houston, where he visited schools across southeast Texas in the station's helicopter nearly every day. He also had the misfortune of swallowing a bug live on TV one day during his weather broadcast and, thanks to the Internet, made news all around the world. ==Career== Hohenstein began his career in Lafayette, Louisiana working for the CBS station as a weekend meteorologist. After nearly three years at KLFY as weekend and then weekday morning meteorologist, he moved to Salt Lake City. While in Utah, Wes worked on the morning show for KTVX, the ABC affiliate. Wes arrived at KPRC-TV in Houston to replace morning meteorologist, Chuck George, who left the station in February 2003 to take care of his ill mother. George eventually landed at KOLD-TV in Tucson, Arizona where he is currently the chief meteorologist. After nearly three years at KPRC-TV in Houston, Hohenstein was replaced briefly by Byron Miranda and then Anthony Yanez on the morning news. After leaving KPRC-TV, Wes was again linked to Chuck George, this time at KOLD-TV while briefly freelancing in Tucson at the same station. Wes arrived in Raleigh in September 2006 as the Chief Meteorologist at WNCN. Hohenstein can be seen alongside anchors Melanie Sanders, Pam Saulsby and Sean Maroney every weeknight on WNCN news at 6, 7 and 11 p.m. You can also hear his weather reports on some Cumulus Broadcasting radio stations in the Triangle and Fayetteville. The station started a promotional campaign in 2012 where Hohenstein is presenting weather facts at the beginning only to reveal an odd setting for the promo part of the way through.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wncn.com/category/255038/weather-facts )〕 The most unusual of these promos has Hohenstein presenting a weather fact standing in an area lake while in a shirt and tie. The promos end with the line "I'm Chief Meteorologist Wes Hohenstein and that's a fact." The promos were well-received in the market and won an Emmy Award for the station in 2014. In 2013, NBC-17 changed its brand to WNCN to better reflect its local news commitment. Hohenstein has also been a part of several changes on the evening anchor desk at WNCN. Evening news anchor Penn Holderness left the station at the beginning of 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wes Hohenstein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
