Fox25 has finally named a replacement for departed morning met Cindy Fitzgibbon. Shiri Spear, formerly of Miami’s WTVJ (NBC/6), has been hired at the Dedham-based O&O.
Spear was lauded by 25 news director Paul McGonagle, remarking in a statement, “Shiri brings an abundance of knowledge and experience in forecasting New England weather,” adding, “She will be a great addition to the FOX25 weather team and we’re happy to welcome her back to her hometown.”
The New England native will join the Fox25 Morning News on November 19th. She replaces Cindy Fitzgibbon, who left the station in September to “take a breather.”
We could have 2 women on thanksgiving! Shiri in the am and Sarah filling in for Kevin at night. Below is the updated weather team…
Morning. night. Weekend. Freelance
Shiri. Kevin. Sarah. Jon
What I don’t understand is why FXT laid off AJ Burnett and then brought in other meteorologists.
With regards to Shiri Spear, I believe she also spent some time at WWLP-Channel 22 in Springfield before working in Miami.
It’s Nov.19. Shiri may be in the building but Kevin is still doing morning weather.
