Retirement

Jim Hickey retired from presenting the weather on TV around 15 years ago. The opening sentence on this page is incorrect — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.149.76.185 (talk) 01:59, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe he retired in 2014.[1] You may be thinking of his earlier retirement in 2003, which is covered in the article. He came back in 2007. If you can find a more specific reference for his final retirement, please add it to the article (or post it here so someone else can do so). If there is no better reference, the opinion piece I link to above is probably sufficient.-gadfium 05:16, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Found a better ref: [2] and added it to the article.-gadfium 05:21, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
