Overview
- Boston 25 announced the transition on Wednesday and credited Lemanowicz with defining its weather coverage for decades.
- Lemanowicz has served as chief since the station’s 1996 launch, covering major events such as the 2011 tornadoes, the 2015 snowstorms, and the Leominster flooding.
- He said it has been a privilege to serve viewers and that he is ready to see what the next chapter holds.
- Senior morning meteorologist Shiri Spear, a Boston 25 veteran since 2012, will become chief meteorologist.
- The move comes as Boston TV news sees more on-air departures and cost-cutting pressures, including recent exits by Kim Khazei and Jon Keller.
