It Took 30 Years, But He Landed the Job

Nearly 30 years after joining WNYT (Albany) as a fill-in member of the weather team, Paul Caiano is stepping into a new role as Chief Meteorologist.

“This is an exciting time for us,” said Jon Hitchcock, vice president and general manager of WNYT/WNYA. “Paul has delivered decades of forecasting expertise that has earned the trust of viewers throughout our Capital Region. We’re excited for Paul in his new leadership position to continue our First Warning 13 commitment of keeping families informed and safe.”

“I’ve been privileged to work alongside our area’s best meteorologists over the years and carry that experience with me into this new position,” Caiano said, adding that he doesn’t take the responsibility “lightly.”

The station filled viewers in on his life story.
