Kevin Craig’s Final Weather Shift | Detroit News

Kevin Craig, the beloved West Michigan meteorologist, is hanging up his forecast mic — but not without a dramatic exit. After his contract wasn’t renewed at WXMI-TV Fox 17, he’s now sharing his final weather reports on YouTube and keeping fans updated via Facebook, even as the station cuts 268 jobs nationwide to pivot toward streaming and AI. What makes it poetic? A storm knocked out power at 2:20 AM — just like the one that used to wake him up at 12:30 AM to be first in the studio. The future of local news is changing fast, but Craig’s making sure his loyal viewers still get their weather fix — just not from a TV screen anymore.
