That Didn't Last Long
/There is a bit of a misty going on in Cincinnati…
WLWT Weekend morning Meteorologist Ashley Brown has been with the station for just over a year and it appears she is now gone from the Hearst station.
Brown, who started in July, 2017, vanished from the station's on-air promotions this week, even though she had not appeared on a newscast for two weeks.
This week, the station aired new promos without Brown for having the certified "most accurate weather forecast in Cincinnati" for seven straight years.
Branden Frantz, Channel 5 general manager, confirmed that Brown is no longer with WLWT but did not explain why she left. Brown replaced Jennifer Schack, who left TV to work for the the Diocese of Covington.
WLWT-TV has posted two openings: One for a meteorologist, and another for an anchor-reporter, even though Channel 5 hired anchor-reporter Ashley Kirklen in August.
