Gannett8 meteorologist Julie Bologna is mapping out a new course and has left the Dallas-based station after a three-year stay.
Her last day was Sunday, April 12th. Bologna, best known for her weekend morning weathercasts, says on her Facebook page that “kiddos and a growing real estate business” are her primary reasons.
“So it’s time to step away,” she says. “I’m not saying farewell to TV, just to this position that’s just not working with my busy life. I’m very excited to stay up past 8 p.m. on the weekends and to sleep in past 2 a.m. And to see friends, go on weekend trips, see a concert and spend time with my family.”
Bologna also was the weekday morning meteorologist for D-FW’s CBS11 before leaving in 2008 after four years to rejoin WPXI-TV in her native Pittsburgh. She returned to North Texas in 2011 and interviewed at Fox4 before eventually joining Gannett8.
“I still may come back and fill in if the station (Gannett8) needs me, but I’m looking forward to what the future holds,” Bologna says.
