what happened to sam from the weather channel
Sam Champion After December 4, 2013, his final day with ABC, he became the managing editor of The Weather Channel, beginning on January 1, 2014. Champion also appeared on the Today show on NBC. After leaving NBC and the Weather Channel in 2016, he has returned to ABC on a fill-in basis.
Wake Up with Al On September 1, 2015, it was announced that Wake Up with Al would be cancelled. Its final episode aired on October 2, 2015. Network officials cited high production costs as a factor, owing to being the only program on The Weather Channel that was produced outside of Atlanta, as well as plans to focus back towards live weather coverage as its core programming. AMHQ would be extended to fill its former timeslot, while co-host Stephanie Abrams would move to Atlanta to continue her role on the program, displacing Sam Champion who now holds managing editor responsibilities at The Weather Channel, while Al Roker will continue to be involved with The Weather Channel as a contributor during breaking news events.[2][3]
