Gone In Raleigh
WNCN Meteorologist and Traffic Reporter Erin Clanahan is no longer with the station.
According to News Director Ed Trauschke, Clanahan has decided to leave the television business.
When reached for comment on Wednesday, Clanahan confirmed this by email: “I left the business to pursue other opportunities.” She declined to give further details.
Clanahan came to WNCN / CBS 17 in November 2017 from WFOX/WJAX in Jacksonville, Fla. Paul Heggen joined the weather team at WNCN that same month, bringing the station’s number of meteorologists to five.
The station is currently down to three full-time meteorologists — Heggen, Bill Reh and chief meteorologist Wes Hohenstein — but Trauschke says the station will add a new person, Brian Hutton, in July.
Hutton, currently the chief meteorologist at WTOK-TV in Mississippi.
WNCN says they also plan to hire another Met/Traffic Anchor as well.
