I hired Ed Muir back in the mid-2000s at the old Northwest Cable News to be a weathercaster/reporter after first meeting him in a training session I did in Albany, NY. After a long and successful run at cable, he moved on to media work at Boeing. Unfortunately, he was part of cuts there, but now has found some freelance work for awhile in front of the weather wall at KIRO 7 handling weekend evenings. He knows his stuff. Scott Haveson, who also once freelanced for me at NWCN had been recentlyfilling in.
Good for Ed. He has a nice presence and projects an easy authority. And no, i am not Ed or a Muir family member!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Muir projects himself quite well. Informative and professional, but also relaxed. A nice ray of sunshine.
DeleteEd is a fantastic choice. Knows his stuff, has a great attitude and is easy to work alongside. Morgan and Nick deserve some stability on their weather team. KIRO would be smart to make this a permanent choice if Ed is willing.
ReplyDeleteEd would be a great permanent addition to the KIRO team. I hope KIRO considers it as they decide who should ultimately fill the weekend weather role.
