Mark Mathis - whose unpredictable, improvisational weather forecasts on Charlotte's Fox affiliate amused some viewers and infuriated others over the last two years was fired this week by WCCB-TV, two weeks after checking into rehabilitation for alcohol and substance abuse problems. "They called me here at the hospital and basically said they're `terminating your employment with Fox,' " said Mathis, 38, in a telephone interview

For writers and musicians, drinking on the job can positively affect their output. Apparently that's not the case with weather reporting.

Zany weather guy Mark Mathis, 38, who was fired from Charlotte's WCCB-18-Fox in November (Market #28) because the station felt "publicly humiliated" by his decision to seek treatment for alcoholism, has been hired as the new weather guesser at KREX-5-CBS in Grand Junction, Colorado (Market #189). He will replace Jarrod Luber, 32, who was found dead in October 2003 at the base of Red Canyon overlook in the Colorado National Monument. He fell approximately 250 feet. Investigators later ruled his death a suicide. Mathis will start at KREX later this month.

Wow, somehow I misread DP's comment to mean the dead Jarrod Luber was replacing Mark Mathis because Fox felt humiliated by a lively weatherman.

I must have been in the zone after watching the video.

Wow - He SUCKS. But I swear, I found myself liking him at the end.

Pretty funny.

Hmm - I seem to remember submitting this a month or so ago and it getting no notice

I would tune in every night for this segment alone! Fire this guy at your station's peril. Then the viewers can all go back to watching some lame Mr./Ms. Same As Everyone Else. That is, until they get bored and tune into something different... like this guy, on a different, smarter station.
