Pulled From the Air in Fargo

KVRR Chief Meteorologist Rob Kupec has been pulled from the air at the station.

It seems that Kupec has decided to make a run for political office.

“While we don’t normally comment on personnel matters, since Rob has decided to run for political office, we have determined he can no longer appear on our newscasts,” KVRR Chief Operating Officer Kathy Lau said. “We understand this is something Rob has considered for a long time and wants to pursue.”

Kupec won the endorsement during a meeting of District 4 delegates Saturday in Glyndon. He’s running for the seat being vacated by longtime DFL State Senator Kent Eken.

He has been Chief Met at the station since 2013.
