TV News. Career Meteorologist Jim Barach Visits NKYS

In today’s episode of Nobody Knows Your Story, I visit with friend and career TV Meteorologist, Jim Barach. Jim recalls spending 38 years working as a broadcaster in nine different states. One of those states, New Mexico is where I met Jim as we worked together at KIVA Channel 12. That was about seven or eight Presidents ago.

Jim’s last job in broadcasting took him to WCHS in Charleston, West Virginia to work as Chief Meteorologist. Jim spent thirteen years at WCHS, and he still lives in Charleston. So, have you ever wondered about the people you see doing the news on TV? Listen in and you will have many of your questions answered as Jim discusses the ups and downs of a life in television.

It just would not be Nobody Knows podcast without having Jim tell us about his family. Jim talks glowingly about his daughter Summer, and wife Karen who he met while working in Wichita, Kansas. He’ll also touch on growing up in Southern California where he and I had a funny connection.

Lastly, you’ll hear what Jim is doing now. It seems like everyone is talking politics these days and that’s pretty much what Jim is doing on a daily basis. That’s known as a tease!
