Dave Brown, Weatherman, Reflects on Career in Memphis Media

The popular channel 5 weatherman spent years as a wrestling commentator -- a part time job that, he says, would not be possible today.

Tonight is Brown's last official night as chief meteorologist on WMC Action News 5. He'll continue to be an occasional contributor to the station. His immediate plans are traveling to places where the weather is warm. "I hate winter," Brown says.
