Was Rebecca Hower his replacement?

[PITTVNostalgia]

Not exactly. Jon Burnett, the morning weathercaster at the time of Kudzma's retirement, took over the noon forecast until Aug./Sep. 2003. Rebecca Hower then had the shift until May 2007.

Jon Burnett is my favorite! He is so cool!

Ugh, I miss Susan Barnett.

The director should have gotten a two shot on camera two at the end...They had no idea what camera to look at...

@StargellFan8 I lived right by KP, and yes it was a bad time.

Jon Burnett blows. I wish he would retire this week. Same wit Stacy Smith and Jeff Versyla. I wshed KDKA would cut down on their number of newscasts.

A class guy.

Rebecca Hower went back to Erie Pa to be with her family.

This was the same day the Whip at Kennywood had its top blown off if I recall correctly.

Yes I would! If people were to care about me enough to watch me on tv I would answer their questions!
