Blast from the Past: Danny Treanor on WFTV

Roger Simmons, December 13, 2010

We continue our Blast from the Past series with this newspaper advertisement from 1978.

It’s for weatherman Danny Treanor on WFTV. Back then, Danny did the weather on the noon, 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts. That was quite a long day!

Danny studies weather data gathered from satellite information and the most modern in weather wire equipment  from the National Weather Service. He plots the facts and reports the prognosis weekdays at Noon, 6 & 11 PM.”
