WISH Meteorologist Ken Brewer is leaving the station and the television industry.

Brewer, a presence on WISHfor 17 years, is stepping away to join Baron, a radar sales and development company. His last day will be Friday.

“It was a difficult decision to leave WISH-TV. I was offered a multi-year contract extension to stay, but at this stage of my life, I feel that if I want to try something new, now would be the time to do that,” Brewer said. “I have been doing TV weather for over 20 years, and I feel like I am ready for a new challenge.”

“Ken has been a staple at WISH-TV forecasting Indiana weather for almost two decades,” said Randy Ingram, Vice President and General Manager of WISH-TV and MyINDY-TV. “His passion and personality will be greatly missed. In his new venture viewers and stations across the country will benefit from his dedication and experience as we have. We’re excited for Ken and the new opportunity ahead of him.”

Prior to joining WISH in October 2000, Brewer was a meteorologist for WFOR in Miami, Florida. He later worked for WCTV, in Tallahassee, Florida.
