It's the local ABC affiliate which covers the whole metro tri-state NYC/upper NJ/lower CT area. So, not a small "local station." ;)

He started as a meteorologist here decades ago. After he was on a few days, even David Letterman made a comment on how can anyone pay attention to the weather forecast with such a beautiful guy being our weatherman. :lmao:

He's pretty much been our weatherman all these decades. He left for a couple years when the Weather Channel offered him his own early morning weather show down in Atlanta. It went bust for some reason. And our local station took him back. :thumbsup2 But, he had already given up his GMA spot to Ginger Zee and it took a while for him to get back on as much as he is now.

GMA films only 20 blocks from the local station. So Sam does the early morning weather here, hops into a cab to do GMA, then comes back to do the noon time weather. :teleport:
Here is where they were talking, yesterday, about Sam Champion (the groundhog) to Sam Champion (the man): :lmao:

This is great!
Thank you for posting it 🙂
