WTVJ NBC6 morning meteorologist Shiri Spear has left. In a post on her Facebook page Spear says she left to pursue another job opportunity in the New England region and to be closer to her family.
Shiri Spear joined WTVJ in September 2010, her last day at WTVJ was on Friday
It’s with a heavy heart I say goodbye to my NBC 6 family. It’s been wonderful to work with such wonderful inidviduals both on camera and behind the scenes.
I’m headed back home to New England to take an opportunity closer to family. I’m excited to share with you my new job next week. Until then! XO
This is too bad. I really liked her. Good weather personalities are hard to come by.
Guess we know where Julia is headed too!
I agree… Shiri had a good combination of being likable and knowledgeable. I wish her all the best in her new role… anyone know where she will be working (more specific than New England)?
NBC affiliate WHDH channel 7 (Sunbeam Station) has a vacancy due to Dylan Dryer’s move to the weekend Today show. Just a thought!
She could head to WHDH, or she could also head to the FOX station WFXT. They have an opening for morning meteorologist, as well.
Good point!
I’m guessing that Shiri Spear’s next TV gig could be in Boston… and maybe WHDH, if not WCVB, WBZ, or WFXT.
As for Julie Durda… not sure about the length of the long her non-compete clause, since her departure from WSVN. It would remain to be seen if WTVJ is considering hiring her.
Aren’t those (non-competes) usually like 6 months? If so, dunno if WTVJ wants to wait that long. In the interim, wonder if Jennifer Reeves will do double duty on weekends.
Oh no not her….I cant stand her. She is so dry and boring.
Does Julie have to wait six months. Who was the newcaster that went from 4 to 6 in a week? Maybe we won’t have the long wait.
no one knows if she will go to WTVJ, it’s all speculation
Jawan Strader jumped to WTVJ but he either did not have a non-compete clause in his contract or was released from it, too many variables to tell.
Durda most likely has a non-compete and has to wait 6 months before she shows up at another local TV station.
Both Brian Andrews and Beatriz Canals had to wait 6 months before going on the air at WFOR
It’s official Fox 25! Starts 11/19!
Why her? she was great! Get rid of Jennifer Reeves her voice is so annoying!
Fox 25 Boston
Start date of 11/19
