'Nothing lasts forever:' Fox 19 meteorologist announces he is moving on
Ethan Emery, weekend meteorologist and multimedia journalist, will have his last day on the air May 11 after three years with the station.
"Nothing ever lasts forever, and that includes my time with WXIX. I'm forever grateful for the time I've had both as an intern and as an employee for FOX19 through the years," Emory wrote in an Instagram post.
Emery, a Southern State Community College and Ohio University graduate, joined FOX19 in 2022. He previously worked for several other television stations nationwide, including KOTA-TV and KEVN in Rapid City, South Dakota and WBKO in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Emery said that his goal of being a weatherman in Cincinnati is complete, but the journey he has made has opened the doors to several more goals, which include transitioning his focus to a career switch with the Communications Department in Montgomery County.
"I have been full-time with Montgomery County Communications Department since March 31. That was when I became a part-time employee with FOX19," said Emery. "Now that I'm in a new role, I'm excited to serve the people of Montgomery County through my role in the Communications Department."
He is now the third forecaster to leave FOX19 this year. Ashley Smith left in January after 17 years with the station to become a Public Information Officer at Hoxworth Blood Center, and Frank Marzullo departed a month later in February after 18 years to pursue other opportunities outside of the television world, according to Emery.
Steve Horstmeyer, a veteran meteorologist who has been with FOX19 for 30 years, intends to retire from his accomplished career in late August after two extensions of his role, according to Emery.
"The last two extensions of his retirement speak to the character that he has to help the station and team," said Emery." I have been fortunate and lucky to be able to have him as a leader over the last few years and am happy to call him a friend!"
He will miss coworkers and viewers alike, as he thanked those who have supported him throughout the years of his career.
"Thank you for reading, watching, listening and being a part of my story," Emery wrote. "I am forever grateful towards all of you (who) have been there, have helped me, and are here for me."
