Sorry to hear you spewing the corporate line, and sorry to see your boss can't spell complement. But I'm glad we could keep you in South Dakota, Shawn.Shawn Cable joins KSFY TV
Sioux Falls, SD - August 14, 2008 - KSFY Television is proud to announce the addition of Shawn Cable to its Broadcast Team. Shawn will be on the air August 25, 2008 in his new role as Meteorologist on KSFY LIVE in the Morning beginning at 5am and KSFY LIVE at 11:30am.
Shawn is no stranger to the area. For nearly thirteen years, folks across South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska planned their day around his weathercasts. Now, after spending a required year out of the spotlight, Shawn is excited to be back on the air. "There are so many great things happening at KSFY," Shawn said. "The owners care about the community and are going above and beyond to make KSFY stronger and more competitive than they've ever been. With all of the positive changes and KSFY's renewed commitment to weather coverage, I can't think if a better place to be at this point in my career." He adds, "My wife Stacy and I love it here. Sure, there were calls from other stations in other cities, but we wanted to stay here. This is home for us."
Kelly Manning, General Manager of KSFY said, "KSFY is thrilled to make this announcement. We are certain that Shawn will be the perfect compliment [sic] to our Weather Team. He will enhance our commitment to viewers of delivering Breaking News and Weather coverage throughout the area. Shawn's passion for presenting the best weather coverage is second to none."

Now, how about a hardcore weather blog on ShawnCable.com?
I hope Kelly is aware why Shawn no longer works at KELO. As i understand, it was breach of contract with his independent weather website, and him comming to the end of his contract.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason he's at KSFY is because he still pulls an audience, but there's too many people who work there that aren't too thrilled to have him there.
I hope Brian Allen and Shawn aren't in the same room too long, ya know Tornados!

ReplyDeleteUnless you know what you're talking about, keep your mouth shut. Not only for your benefit, but for everyone else's as well.
I have always liked Shawn and was disappointed when he left KELO. I also like Phil. Whenever I wake up early enough I always watch the early morning news on KSFY.
ReplyDeleteAt least now there is someone available to sing the National Anthem at events. Shawn Cable can SING!
ReplyDeleteLiked Shawn on KELO. But also prefer the weather format on KELO so it will be interesting to see if having Shawn at KSFY will translate into more viewers or not.
