Subject: Ray Petelin, WTAE

Unfortunately, it looks like TAE is parting ways with the meteorologist. IMHO, Ray did a good job and was likable on-air. Information below is from today's Post-Gazette Q&A with Rob Owen:

Q: I saw WTAE posted a meteorologist opening. Did I miss an announcement that someone was leaving, or are they simply expanding their weather department? I believe a decade ago they had five, and bragged that they were the largest weather team in town.

-DAVID, GREENSBURG

Rob: I have a vague recollection of five meteorologists at one point but the standard at WTAE has been four at least back to 2010.

Weekend meteorologist Ray Petelin’s contract was not renewed so presumably that’s the job Channel 4 is advertising for. News director Jim Parsons did not respond when I twice sent him David’s question.

“I’m on the schedule, right now, until mid-September,” said Petelin, who joined WTAE in September 2011. “I don’t have immediate plans at this moment, but my wife, daughter and I LOVE Pittsburgh and would love to continue here.”
