WFOR made it official today, Craig Setzer is the station’s new chief meteorologist. He takes over for David Bernard who left at the end of the November sweeps last year.
Setzer has been with WFOR for 14 years, starting way back in the year 2000 as executive weather producer and on-air meteorologist for the weekend broadcasts, and later for the newscasts on WBFS.
David Bernard congratulated Setzer on twitter after the announcement was made

Yay! Well-deserved.
Way to go Setzy… See if you wait long enough good things happen. You’re very deserving and I’m thrilled for you. Couldn’t have been a better pick!
couldn’t have happened to a nicer and more deserving guy. Congrats!
That is the least they can do after they endorsed him jumping off a high pier trying to fly and
winding up in the hospital needing surgery. He will stabilize that department. BOL, Craig.
Craig is OK but the quality of the weather forecast from CBS went to the floor after David and Jeff departed.
Spilled milk. Time to rebuild and get back in the game.
They probably gave him a 10k bump and called it a day. Cheaper than bringing in someone else. Just sayin’

jeff and dave were good but i am sure craig and his team will manage to provide you with quality info
