Brittany Foster joined the Kansas City ABC affiliate KMBC as a meteorologist.
The station now has the largest weather team in the city, made up of six meteorologists.
“When it comes to keeping viewers safe, KMBC 9 First Alert Weather is committed to setting the standard,” said KMBC 9 First Alert Chief Meteorologist. Bryan Busby. “Brittany strengthens our ability to keep Kansas and Missouri residents informed and prepared around the clock.”
It’s a homecoming for Foster, a KC native who interned at the station while earning his meteorology degree at the University of Kansas. She forecast the weather for stations in Wichita, Lincoln, Nebraska and St. Joseph, Missouri before returning to Kansas City.
“I grew up watching KMBC,” Foster said. “My goal has always been to come back to Kansas City, but working at this station with people I know excites me. Bryan is one of the people who inspired me to become a meteorologist. The fact that I get to work with him is so cool.
“The timing was perfect to bring Brittany home,” Busby said. “When she interned here, I found her competent, enthusiastic and energetic. She has proven to be more than competent with all of our meteorologists.
Foster will be an anchor Saturday and Sunday morning on KMBC 9 First News. First Alert Meteorologist Katie Horner will move to a Monday through Friday schedule.
