At that ever-revolving door at KING-5, Jordan Steele, meteorologist & former host of the now canceled “Take 5” afternoon show has departed the station to take up a new position hosting a new program on behalf of The Weather Channel. “Weather Today” will join Quibi’s Daily Essentials category of programming, launching on April 6. This brand new show from The Weather Channel television network, that will debut on the mobile-first short form video platform Quibi. It will be a three-to-five minute show airing seven days a week that features the most important weather news stories of the day as well as a national forecast. We’ve also learned that Rebecca Stevenson is now a permanent member of the KING-5 weather team & will eventually end up on air on a regular basis.

What a bummer! He was the reason I watched your channel. Such a cool dude. Big mistake! Good luck Jordan
Same here! I miss him...every night!
Jordan Steele was awesome, he had a great vibe , positive energy and had a beautiful family. What a bummer.
That "family" thing really took me by surprise...he projected a very Gay vibe!...He also had wit and charm...I think his move to the Weather Channel could work out to a better career for him...One of the first weathermen to jump into that channel was that guy who also had worked the Seattle weather beat, Jim Cantore. That dude decided to take a chance with that channel, and is now a big star there...when he was much younger, he sorta looked like Jordan Steele!...Now he looks like any other middle-aged man doing the weather...Maybe Cantore influenced Steele to take a better path?...We will see...KING 5 is so messed up...but I do like looking at Rebecca Stevenson...she is eye candy for sure.,,,but I am thinking she is very, shall we say, career-oriented, and guards her personal life closely--if ya know what I mean!
All radio and tv folk should keep their cards close to their chest. Who gives a dang about their private life? That shouldn't matter to anyone. Those that speak up make it an issue and then it becomes gossip.
Disagree. Being "in the media" entails a certain amount of gossip, speculation, etc...It comes with the territory, and in many cases is a boost to popularity/notoriety....media is mostly about image!
If so, seems silly that they get butt hurt when speculation as to certain things about them is posted. I am betting there are many who can dish it, but can't take it. And a few who truly believe their private life is private.
I really King 5 made a really big mistake letting Jordan go, he was up beat, fun, just a great personality, I watched 5 for Jordan now we have boring people Rich Marriott, needs to go he’s so boring, big mistake for 5 to let that guy go, won’t watch 5 anymore, good luck Jordan.
Rich may be boring, but he reports the weather and does it well. What are you wanting him to do? Jump out of a cake and report the weather? Come on
Like the other comments, I miss Jordan Steele very much. His creativity and contribution to TAKE5 was missed as the program ended. He is now hosting a brand new show on behalf of The Weather Channel. “Weather Today” will join Quibi’s Daily Essentials Programing.
The mobile App is available now, with a 14 day free trial offer. You can view his segment any time of day that best suits your schedule. I joined Quibi, it was great to see him and feel his enthusiasm for whatever life brings him!
Miss Jordan, a real talent for King 5 And loved his family. He will be back on national news somewhere I’m sure.
Why can't KING5 keep talented staff? The best people seem to leave.
I miss Jordan on the weather and on Take Five, loved that show. Wish the best for him and his family.
Also would love to see Ben doing the weather on a reg basis
Disappointing to see Gordon Steele leave. He was quick, friendly and fun to watch. The new guy (Herea ?) is not going to cut it. He spends too much time trying to be a "happy face". King5 made a mistake letting Steele go. Will watch KIRO news now. I am not to big on Rebecca Stevenson either. She takes too long getting to the essential information.
Rebecca makes me wanna gup up and go!
I sense jealousy here....Becca is hot!
