ORLANDO, Fla. – News 6 introduced its new hyper-local weather brand, Pinpoint Weather to Central Florida in August. Since then, viewers have not only come to depend on it, they’re asking for more of it -- more Pinpoint Weather from local neighborhoods and more Pinpoint Weather from their trusted meteorologists. Now, News 6 is giving viewers what they want.
More Pinpoint Weather from local neighborhoods
To build up early-evening weather coverage and add a unique layer for viewers, News 6 introduced a community and lifestyle-driven element to their Pinpoint Weather coverage in January. Meteorologist Candace Campos was assigned the new neighborhood Pinpoint Weather element and moved to 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. weekdays to bring it to life. That move allowed Candace to travel to communities all over Central Florida to bring Pinpoint Weather right into viewers' neighborhoods. Now only two months later, viewers are asking for more! So look out Central Florida, Candace Campos will be coming to a neighborhood near you.
Adding to the on-air Pinpoint Weather team
News 6 welcomes to the on-air weather team Madeline Evans. While Madeline will be new to Central Florida viewers, she has been with News 6 over a year, and she currently works behind the scenes as a weather producer. She will be sharing her Pinpoint Weather forecasts weekend mornings from 5 to 7 a.m. starting March 26.
More Tom, Troy, Julie and Danny
Viewers have asked to see more Pinpoint Weather from Tom, Troy, Julie and Danny Treanor. And now they will! News 6 is bringing veteran meteorologist Danny Treanor to weekend evenings at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. starting on March 19.
Danny will also continue to assist during the week in severe weather situations. When that happens, viewers will be able to get the full force of the most experienced team of meteorologists in Central Florida. The News 6 Meteorological Team, led by Emmy Award-winning Chief Meteorologist Tom Sorrells, also includes meteorologists Troy Bridges, Julie Broughton and Candace Campos.
“Our viewers tell us that when severe weather strikes, they trust Tom, Troy, Julie, Candace and Danny to accurately forecast and provide important information on our broadcast and digital platforms,” station VP and General Manager Jeff Hoffman said.
Elizabeth Hart is leaving News 6 effective Tuesday to pursue other television options.
