Cruz Medina Career
Medina went to North Carolina State University and studied Meteorology not too far from his hometown. He worked as an officer for NCSU Weather and did weekly forecasts for them during his time at NC State. Recently, Medina worked at WBAY-TV in Green Bay, Wisconsin. While there, he covered plenty of winter weather and severe weather as well. During the winter months, it was brutally cold, and snowed, what seemed like every other day. He is experienced in the winter weather department.
Moreover, Medina’s passion for forecasting and his love for weather started at the age of 5. He would watch storms roll in on the horizon with his grandfather and would run outside when it lightened and thundered instead of staying inside as he should have. Medina always knew he wanted to study meteorology, but a tornado outbreak in April 2011 that impacted his hometown of Wilson, North Carolina, further solidified his passion for weather. Now he enjoys his dream come true as he forecasting severe weather. Notably, Medina is an ambassador for the AMS Latinx Committee as well as a member of both the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association.
Cruz Medina WSMV-TV
WSMV-TV, also known as channel 4 is a television station in Nashville, Tennessee, in the United States. It is affiliated with NBC and is owned by Gray Television alongside low-power Telemundo affiliate WTNX-LD or channel 15. Both stations share studios on Knob Road in west Nashville, where WSMV-TV’s transmitter is also located. Channel 4 signed on the air as WSM-TV on September 30, 1950, at 1:10 p.m. CT. Notably, it was the first television station in Nashville and the second in Tennessee, behind fellow NBC affiliate WMCT in Memphis. Consequently, WMCT was forced to switch to channel 5 to avoid co-channel interference.
Channel 4 has been an NBC affiliate from its sign-on, although it carried some programming from CBS, DuMont, and ABC. Also, its secondary affiliation with CBS ended in 1953, when WSIX-TV or channel 8, now WKRN-TV on channel 2 signed on as a primary CBS affiliate. WSM-TV shared ABC programming with WSIX-TV for a year until WLAC-TV or channel 5, WTVF signed on in 1954 as the market’s new primary CBS affiliate. As a result, WSIX-TV was left to take the ABC affiliation.
WSMV-TV broadcasts 53 hours of locally produced newscasts each week; with nine hours each weekday and four hours each on Saturdays and Sundays. In regards to the number of hours devoted to news programming, it is the highest local newscast output among all broadcast television stations in the Nashville market. Its news department was the first in the United States to receive satellite photographs when it first used them in 1964. During the mid-1970s, the station developed a strong news division that, in the 1980s through the 1990s, won numerous regional and national awards for in-depth and investigative reporting.
