Now, that the station has room, they are bring back an old face.

Meteorologist Andy Parker is returning to WKBW. Parker worked at WKBW for 7 years before leaving the station that was run by Granite at the time.

Parker soon pooped up down the street at WGRZ, the Gannett owned station.

WKBW has finally rid themselves of Granite and is now owned by Scripps, who has decided to bring Parker back to the station. 

He will be Director of Meteorology and Executive Producer/Weather and do weather on the station's morning newscast. The job that Mike Randall did before his demotion. 

“We are thrilled to have Andy Parker coming home to 7 Eyewitness News,” said Michael Nurse, Vice President and General Manager for WKBW-TV. 

“This is a great opportunity for me to return to 7 Eyewitness News, the place where I began my career,” Parker said. “With the new Scripps ownership, there are many exciting changes coming to 7 Eyewitness News, and I definitely want to be a part of it. I’ve dedicated my career to providing viewers the most accurate forecast, and I’m really looking forward to continuing that commitment for the viewers of 7 Eyewitness News. I’m also very excited about bringing The Weather Machine program to schools throughout Western New York to educate our student scientists.”
