Wes Hohenstein is a talented individual who has an interesting career story. Freshman year of college in St. Louis Wes started out as a science major hoping to become a doctor, quickly he realized his lack of passion for that major and focused his ambitions on what really made him happy, television. He dedided not to let his knowledge of science and math go to waste, but rather to use it and become a meteorologist. He worked hard and landed an internship at NBC in St. Louis that became the most important experience of his life. Through that internship he was able to study under others that were excelling in what he desired to persue, and was also able to use that experience as the basis of his career. Time moved on and so did he, he was fortunate enough to land jobs in Utah, Houston, and most recently in North Carolina. He works at NBC 17 as their Chief Meteorologist.
He spoke about the new DTV transition that we as a nation are about to under go. This transition is from analog to digital. Analog will soon be used by the government for emergency services only. Televisions with antenas will need convertors by June 12 in order to maintain services. Wes gave us the inside scoop on how this digital transfer will use our tax dollars to fund, and put billions of dollars into the hands of our government. The communications industry is havig to make changes to support this digital transfer. Digital is just a different way to bring a signal, and we are being forced to make this change.
Wes was very informative, and well spoken. He had the charm of a personable meteorologist and the education and experience to support it all. I gained knowledge about issues I desperately needed to know about.
