Look at our station. We have two shows — our 5 p.m. newscast has two female co-anchors and our 5:30 p.m. show has two female co-anchors.

There's never a great time, but if somebody was going to leave ... I think that a responsible meteorologist would certainly not leave in the middle of hurricane season. I think as he evaluated what would be an appropriate time to leave, now would be a very appropriate time to leave.

He is moving on, and we are certainly grateful for the many years that Rob worked at the station, for his hard work and his dedication. I think we'll long remember his tone and his commitment during the hurricanes that helped so many of the people in the community.

Isn't it crazy? I've always been a little baffled by it, even though our station has always had a strong position in our market. We certainly hope and expect it will continue.

We'd actually had some discussions with Rob over the last couple of weeks related to his employment. I think he's got a plan for what he wants to do. I agreed that I would not discuss publicly what that is. He plans to pursue some other interests and he'll certainly be missed here.
