Resurfacing in The Land (Patreon)

Tegna is trying to this one a secret, so don't tell anyone....Okay?

Back in May, FTVLive told you that WEWS had fired Meteorologist Mark Johnson. Word was that the parting of the ways started happening when FTVLive posted a story about Johnson shilling for a hamburger and a noodle joint on his social media.

After the station launched an “investigation” Johnson was canned and WEWS released this statement. "We want our audiences to know that News 5 and its parent company, Scripps, take protecting our audiences’ trust very seriously by requiring our employees to adhere to the highest ethical standards. We cannot provide further details, as this is a personnel matter,” said Steve Weinstein, WEWS VP and GM.

Now to the secret.

At some point this week, Tegna's WKYC will announce that Johnson will be joining the station as the 11pm Forecaster.

This jives with him sitting out a non-compete.

It appears that after seeing this cryptic post from WKYC Met Betsy Kling, that Johnson's first day on air will be November 10th.

Remember, this is all supposed to be a secret and WKYC would not want you saying anything until they make it official.

Shhhhhh....
