#SadNews My good friend and former WESH 2 News co-worker/Former #WESH meteorologist Marty Stebbins passed away today. He’s now forecasting the weather in Heaven. Marty was a unicorn in our business: starting out as a radio DJ in the 60’s and then moving on to reporting in 1969 at channel 6 (then WDBO-TV- now WKMG-TV). He left 6 in 1977 and went to KHOU-TV to terrorize the Houston market. Then he came back to #WESH in 1988 and told news director Steve “Rambo” Ramsey “if you don’t hire me, it’ll be the biggest mistake you ever make!”. He was hired and later moved into the weather. Marty and I launched the first-weekend sunrise/noon shows in August 1992 and morning weekend TV was better than the cartoons we replaced. Marty was gold with his “Alan Shepard” buzz cut, droll sense of humor, and the rest was history. He retired in January 2005 and has been missed ever since. Many blessings to all who knew and loved him. Time to “sign off” my friend.
Marty Stebbins was “The People’s Weatherman” (as he would say), but he was also a dear friend. Rest in peace, old buddy. Working with Marty & the Weekend Sunrise team in 95/96 ranks among my fondest times. He made it a blast to come to work at 3 am every Saturday & Sunday morning. The shenanigans (like having us run around the chopper pad as a lead-in to his forecast LOL) were legendary!! I learned a LOT of lessons that helped me later on in my career. Marty became such a good friend, coming to visit me in Charlottesville, Virginia shortly after I got my first sports gig. It was a joy to see him last at the #WESH reunion in Winter Park a few years back. He was beloved everywhere he went. God bless Marty!!
