Tupelo, Mississippi) WTVA chief meteorologist Matt Laubhan will always be remembered for praying for the city of Amory prior to the arrival of the tornado that ravaged the community.

He, along with the entire weather team, was laid off on Friday.


WTVA’s parent company Allen Media Group in May announced a restructuring move that affected about 12%, or some 2,500 employees.

  • A simple mention of the weather forecast a couple times in a 30 minute newscast (less than 20 seconds of time to make this mention) is enough. We don't need a weather map, temps for all the cities and a lesson in meteorology. You are correct, we have it all on our phones.

  • PRESS RELEASE: Allen Media Group (AMG) broadcast television station division, Allen Media Broadcasting (AMB), is rolling out a groundbreaking format for local weather coverage powered by The Weather Channel across local markets nationwide. This innovative partnership based at The Weather Channel’s Atlanta headquarters brings together world-class meteorological expertise, cutting-edge technology, and the most advanced forecasting tools to deliver superior weather content to local television station audiences. This new weather initiative, which will have additional visual storytelling capabilities, is set to roll out across AMB’s local television markets in 2025.

  • Is this company that laid them off stupid.Best weather in Ms and you are taking it away? I will not be watching you news or weather anymore.

  • The entire team at the Waterloo, Iowa AMG station, KWWL, were also kicked to the curb.

  • Reminds me of when Frank Reynolds lost his cool anchoring the ABC news during the Reagan shooting in '81.
    The news people are expected to keep steady, not panic the audience.

    • I was watching at the time Reynolds pulled those theatrics. It was silly.
