Sioux Falls, SD -- KSFY Television is proud to announce the addition of Shawn Cable to its Broadcast Team. Shawn will be on the air August 25, 2008 in his new role as meteorologist on KSFY's Live in the Morning beginning at 5 a.m. and KSFY's Live at 11:30 a.m.

Shawn is no stranger to the area. For nearly thirteen years, folks across South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska planned their day around his weathercasts. Now after spending a required year out of the spotlight, Shawn is excited to be back on the air.

"There are so many great things happening at KSFY," said Shawn. "The owners care about the community and are going above and beyond to make KSFY stronger and more competitive than they've ever been. With all of the positive changes and KSFY's renewed commitment to weather coverage, I can't think of a better place to be at this point in my career."

He adds, "My wife Stacy and I love it here. Sure, there were calls from other stations in other cities, but we wanted to stay here. This is home for us."

KSFY General Manager Kelly Manning said, “KSFY is thrilled to make this announcement. We are certain that Shawn will be the perfect compliment to our Weather Team. He will enhance our commitment to viewers of delivering breaking news and weather coverage throughout the area. Shawn’s passion for presenting the best weather coverage is second to none.”
