New KATV Met Makes On-Air Debut

Todd Yakoubian made his on air debut Saturday on Daybreak. As reported FIRST on ATN about a month ago, Yakoubian is the new weekend meteorologist for KATV, filling the vacancy left by Devon Lucie who left Channel 7 for KVVU, FOX 5 in Las Vegas.

Yakoubian joins KATV from WRCB in Chattanooga, TN. According to his bio at WRCB.com, Yakoubian has worked as Chief Meteorologist at a television station in Missoula, Montana. Todd holds the seal of approval from the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association. He is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma, where he chased storms all over the plains states. One encounter with a tornado in southwest Oklahoma even threw his car off the road.
