Morning meteorologist Ron Smiley is leaving Indianapolis Fox affiliate WXIN after five years at the station.
Smiley has accepted a new gig as morning and noon meteorologist at CBS O&O KDKA in Pittsburgh. Yesterday, Tim Williams, KDKA’s digital content manager tweeted the following:
Pittsburgh… Please welcome and follow

Smiley shared it with his followers, who were disappointed to hear he was leaving the city. As he explained:
It’s a very tough decision but the best one for my family and me. I will be back often.
Smiley replaces veteran meteorologist Dennis Bowman, who retired in April.
Smiley begins his new position at KDKA in late June.
