Verzyla freelancing at WTAE

Beginning Sunday evening (6/21) viewers to WTAE-TV (4) will find meteorologist Jeff Verzyla doing weather on a freelance basis on weekend evenings through at least August. Verzyla released this news on his Facebook page today. He will still be doing his daily “White Board Weather” forecasts during the week.

The move comes after Alex Alessi moves on to a new position in Orlando, Florida – one might assume at WTAE sister WESH-TV (2).

Mr. Verzyla was chief meteorologist at KDKA-TV (2) for over 20 years and was fired in late 2018 which we’ve heard from several sources was supposedly due a disagreement with management.
