While many of you have set up your studio in your house, one WCBS Anchor has set up his in his barn.

WCBS CBS Chief Weathercaster Lonnie Quinn is using a barn on his property as his new homecasting studio.

Quinn is using the circa 1820 historic barn at his home in Westport, Connecticut.

Previous to this creative solution, Quinn would bike to the railroad Station to take the train to his Manhattan CBS studio for his weather broadcasts.

Since that studio closed, due to the COVID-19 he was providing his weather reports from various Connecticut locations.

But now he is using his barn as his “studio”. In 2019, Quinn purchased a property in Westport which included this historic barn. He decided that he could use this barn as his new studio during the COVID-19 crisis.

When purchasing this property, he was told that the barn had been used for civic gatherings, concerts and family events by the previous owners. The barn was recognized by Westport Historical District Commission with a town Preservation Award in 2017.

Ladies and gentlemen introducing the ultimate in broadcast creativity when social isolation has to become a priority. I give you… The Weather Barn!”

It sure as hell beats a couple of Emmys in the background.
