Meteorologist Julie Durda returns to television - Brownsville Herald

These days, the alarm clock television meteorologist Julie Durda rings again at 2:15 am “It’s a huge sacrifice,” said Durda, “but that’s the job I chose. I would not change anything. “

Durda, 33, returned to television this week. It began on Monday morning at WPLG Channel 10 after long weeks of absence.

Durda, which has long worked as a meteorologist for Channel 7 WSVN, Channel ABC changed last year.

Durda had to wait for it to end non-compete clause that prevented him from returning to television market Miami-Fort Lauderdale for six months.

What year did in that environment?

“I learned to cook,” Durda said. “I attended a cooking class at Plantation Publix supermarket once a week.”

And she and her new husband, the sales executive David Radliff, traveled several times on “honeymoon” to the Dominican Republic, New York and Las Vegas.

Although his split with Fox affiliate channel caused some tension, Durda said he remained friends with his former colleagues.

So why WPLG changed?

The opportunity to work with the superstar meteorologist Max Mayfield did make the decision.

“It’s great to work with a team that has so much experience, people who know very well what they are doing,” Durda said. “For me one of the main attractions is Max”.

Durda said also report some stories of other issues unrelated to time, including several on the Miami Heat during the NBA playoffs.

“But first, I have to earn the trust of viewers,” Durda said.
