He’s kinda a chick. But is a good meteorologist. S/he is pretty spot on.

WDSU has apparently decided to follow the WWL-TV business model — an interesting strategy if the goal is to drive away viewership. Good luck with that.


Corporate ownership.

Wwl tv owned by Nexstar - largest corporate tv station owner in country

WDSU owned by Hearst - they own 36 stations

David Bernard was a very good meteorologist and he’s quite gay.

He is good at his job, but he is certainly gay

100% that's what got him the job.
WDSU is probably trying to expand their online presence.
The current world is run by YouTubers and TikToker's.

There's something weird about the participation bias in meteorology. There's like 1/3rd beautiful women, 1/3rd gay men, and 1/3rd oddball characters.

I'm more partial to the hot weathergirls. There's no other good reason to sit through 10 minutes of cumulus clouds on tape

Good business strategy. Obviously, most people tune in to the weather for the weather, not tits and arse.

Appeal to your market.

While he is a flaming homo (no hate here) he is a good meteorlogist. Spent some time here then at the weather channel then back.

You're acting like he's the first gay meteorologist in New Orleans...
