Kienzle to leave the weather desk at WTAE

The revolving door of meteorologists at WTAE continues to circulate. Erin Kienzle will leave the station on December 31 to return to Charleston, South Carolina. Kienzle’s departure comes as her husband, Nick, has found a new job in the Charleston region where his family is from. At present, Ms. Kienzle has not found work down there, but had worked at WCSC-TV before coming to Pittsburgh. WTAE President and General Manager Michael Hayes expects that she will easily find a job in Charleston. Meanwhile, Hayes said a search will soon be on for a replacement at WTAE. “We’ll be going back through some of our applications, and we’ll look through the Hearst network,” he told the Post-Gazette.
