A familiar face is returning to Peoria TV newscasts.

Meteorologist Jesse Guinn, formerly of WEEK, has been hired across the street to do fill-in work at WMBD/WYZZ.

In a social media post, Guinn wrote, “Tune in this Saturday and Sunday to Channel 31 and Channel 43 for a special weekend surprise! ... I'm excited to start helping out every once and a while when the team takes time off."
Guinn told the Journal Star that he has also been hired as a full-time instructor at Lincoln College with its Radio, Television, New Media Department.
