Finally! After almost a year and a half since Montgomery locals were turned up on Direct. Picture quality is great. ...
I am glad the Gump will be hosting the “Does It Work” segments, but WSFA really needs a female meteorologist to round out the team.
Regardless, welcome to Fungomery, Jeff!
Let’s see…Josh Johnson & Jeff Jumper. If I were Rich, I think I’d be changing my name to Jenna Jamison or something!
Also, suggested topic for “Does It Work?” segment…WSFA’s newsroom! Discuss.
You’ve gotten a great meteorologist. We’ll miss Jeff in Lake Charles.
