Meteorologist Jim Van Fleet To Leave Orlando For Tampa
Jim Van Fleet is moving across the state of Florida from WOFL in Orlando to WTSP in Tampa/St. Petersburg/Sarasota, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
“After a roller coaster ride over the last 10 years at Fox 35, I feel like WOFL has become my home and the staff have become my family, so clearly this has been a very difficult decision for me,” Van Fleet, who grew up chasing tornadoes in Oklahoma, said in a statement. “I would also like to say for the record that Fox 35 did make an offer for me to stay and it was a very generous offer, but quite simply this opportunity with WTSP is something meteorologists spend their entire lives working towards, and to have this door open for me right now is a dream come true and one I would be foolish to pass up.”
