Description

New England’s weather always keeps us on our toes, but have you ever wondered how it’s predicted? And, did you know that when it’s broadcast on television, the weather person only sees a blank screen when you’re seeing a map at home? Here’s your chance to learn more on a personal tour of WCVB-TV and lunch at Channel 5’s “Five and Dime” with Boston’s voice of weather, Mike Wankum. After serving 13 years as chief meteorologist at WLVI-TV in Boston, Wankum joined WCVB in 2006. He is recognized with eight regional Emmy Awards during his tenure at WLVI and has contributed to weather reports for the Boston Herald, Community Newspaper Company's daily and weekly publications, and the local airwaves. Please note that the tour will be held rain or shine, but may be cancelled if there is a chance of a snowstorm! Bid now.
