Lightning Fast Format Changes And Back Again

it's possible that not all AccuWeather broadcasters are meteorologists.  and 
it could be that not all WBZ staffers are aware of who is or isn't.

i recall asking that of one my TV weather buddies - why so&so was
"meteorologist" yet others were just "name."  he said that others are not
necessarily meteorologists, and therefore can't be called such.
