The local CBS affiliate gave no timetable for the longtime KC meteorolgist's departure in a press release e-mailed today, just that it would be later this year.
In the statement, KCTV general manager Bobby Totsch said, “We have spent a great deal of time talking about her future and right now she feels she needs some additional time with her young daughters. We discussed several options, but we simply couldn’t figure out a way to make it all work. I’m certain her career as a meteorologist is far from over, it may just be on hold for a bit.”
The statement said Horner had been part of the station and KCTV5 News for more than 17 years.
In the statement, Horner said, “I will miss the day to day excitement that comes with the job and the opportunity to inform our viewers,” said Horner in the released statement. “I believe all meteorologists play a role in keeping people feeling safe in severe weather conditions, and I know we have made that a focus at KCTV over the years. I have met and worked with a lot of great people in the KC area and I will still be happy to call KC my home. I will still be around, and hope to be involved with something that allows me to do what I enjoy and still do what is best for my girls. I just want to say thank you to all of the viewers who allowed me to come into their homes each night.”
Said KCTV News Director Blaise Labbe: “We are not going to let her leave just yet. Having Katie here a while longer will allow us some time to plan our future.”

Yeah. He was either leaving or going to Bogowith's place when Pinkel got that DWI. I think that's how his wife found out about the affair and they ended up getting the divorce because of it. Bogowith worked at KOMU based out of Columbia at the time. I think they (MU) had something to do w/ Bogowith getting the job here in KC because they wanted (or at least tried) to keep it all hush hush by getting her the F out of Columbia. Or at least I was told this. [Reply]

She was married when she left 5. She met that husband while she was married to a guy that also worked at 5. So after leaving him for the new guy they still had to work together. [Reply]

Too funny. Same scenario down here. The anchor chick was married to the sports guy. Ends up messing around with the weather guy, divorces sports guy, marries weather guy. And now all THREEE are on air TOGETHER! [Reply]
