Making History in Motown
/
Kim Adams is excited to be making a return to WDIV in Detroit.
Adams is no stranger to Motown viewers.
After a brief stop in Ohio early in her career, Adams made history as the first female meteorologist in Detroit when she joined WXYZ-TV, Channel 7, in 1997. She remained there until 2002 before moving to WDIV.
She signed off in 2009 to leave the business to be a full-time single mother to her children, ages 19, 18, 13, 10 and 9.
Now, she is returning to WDIV and is set to make history again. Adams will be the first female meteorologist to do all five evening newscasts each day (4 p.m., 5 p.m., 6 p.m., 10 p.m., and 11 p.m.).
“I truly believe … this is divine intervention,” she said. “My dad passed away 18 months ago. He was always proud of me, but never prouder than when I was on Channel 4. Not because I was on TV – I was on TV in other roles, too – but he knew how much I loved meteorology. He knew how happy I was doing that. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the call came when it did.”
