Bob Breck Retiring from WVUE

Apparently he announced it earlier this week on the air. Searched and didn't see a thread besides his hair piece removal.

Breck is the GOAT.

Breck said he told station managers that he was 68 years old and wanted to work out an exit plan that was best for him and WVUE.

"It's getting harder and harder for this little body to stay up beyond 10 o'clock at night," he said, smiling.

Breck relocated his wife and kids here from Dayton, Ohio in 1978.

"Two things I knew about New Orleans were Mardi Gras and the Sugar Bowl. I had never been to the city, and the first thing that surprised me was a lot of water around here!" he said.

Hired to replace iconic meteorologist Nash Roberts, Bob was not an immediate success.

"I had the plaid suits and was wild. I was like the energizer bunny on camera and that was a shock. Consultants said he'll never make it here. But I had a general manager that allowed me enough time to get a following."

Apparently he'll be called in for hurricane coverage in the future.
