After 26 years in broadcast news, with 16 of those at WTMJ (Milwaukee), Meteorologist Brian Gotter has made the decision to retire from television for a full-time role with the MACC (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer) Fund.

“During his time in Milwaukee, Brian has endeared himself to viewers and coworkers alike,” said News Director Tim Vetscher.

“He’s been a reliable meteorologist viewers in southeast Wisconsin could count on to keep them safe during severe weather. But while he took the forecast seriously, Brian, as we all know, never took himself seriously. He’s always quick with a joke or a one-liner that could make viewers laugh and lighten the mood. Brian’s experience, skill, and fun-loving personality will definitely be missed.”

He’s signing off from the station in the Fall.
