The new weatherman on Fox-Philadelphia's "Ten O'Clock News" is a familiar face. Weekend weather anchor Rob Guarino has been named the weekday weather anchor, taking over for Frank Cariello, whose contract was not renewed.
"This is a great opportunity for both the station and Rob," said Fox-Philadelphia Vice President and General Manager Roger LaMay. "He's not only knowledgeable about weather but he will bring enthusiasm to community events."
Guarino, who began at Fox-Philadelphia in 1996, has been nominated for four Emmy awards, winning the Mid-Atlantic Emmy for the 1996-97 season. A University of Delaware graduate, Guarino previously worked in Indianapolis and Syracuse. He currently lives in South Jersey with his wife, Dina and daughter, Mia.
Until Fox-Philadelphia names a permanent weekend weather anchor, "Good Day Philadelphia's" Sue Serio and Guarino will alternate Saturdays and Sundays.
Speaking of weather watchers, WPVI-TV/6-ABC's Cecily Tynan is the cover girl for the February issue of "Runner's World" magazine. Tynan, a serious runner, and one of the most popular personalities on "Action News," got approval from news director Carla Carpenter before posing for the cover shot in which she is wearing a belly-button ring.
