Published by admin on April 8, 2013. 4 Comments


NewsCenter5 morning meteorologist J.C. Monahan is leaving the Eyeopener, according to WCVB.com.  Her new role will be co-host of nightly news-magazine Chronicle.  Her dayside replacement is former Fox25 morning met Cindy Fitzgibbon.

GM Bill Fine wasted no time showering praise upon both weather guessers, commenting, “JC is an extraordinarily talented journalist and was looking for a new challenge. Cindy is someone we long admired as a competitor and was looking for a return to local television after taking six months off to be with her family.”  He added, “The timing was incredibly fortunate for NewsCenter 5 and Chronicle, as this is a true perfect match in every way, for our viewers, JC and Cindy.”

If you may remember, Fitzgibbon left Fox25 six months ago to spend more time with her family.  No word yet on her first day at 5 TV Place.
