With fewer than 600 active CBM seal-holders in the world, this is a rare scientific honor. Robert is also a certified meteorologist, the only weather anchor in the Borderland with the Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) Seal of Approval from the American Meteorological Society.
Studio 9 is positive Southwest living… a chance to be a tourist in your own town. (My stomach was left in another atmosphere.) Finally, I was the first person ever to broadcast weather from the top of the Golden Gate Bridge.Robert Bettes is the host of KTSM’s Studio 9, the Borderland’s premier lifestyle show. It was fun to broadcast live from a cruise ship steaming into the San Francisco Bay and broadcasting live from inside a plane with the nation's leading stunt pilot. I've broadcast live from the scene of over a dozen tropical systems. I've become somewhat of a hurricane hound. I also broadcast live from the White House lawn during a Presidential Conference on Climate Change. While I was there, I represented the United States at the World Weather Conference in Barcelona, Spain. I pioneered the country's first instant weather information access, the California Weather Network. Tell us more! Before WCPO 9, I spent nearly 20 years at KRON-TV in San Francisco as their Chief Meteorologist. Ha!Īpps you can't live without? Storm Shield, RadarScope, Spotify However, as we all know, Mother Nature can call at anytime so it really depends on her. What is your day like? You might call me a "second-shifter" because on most days I'm in by 2:30 p.m. My taste runs from Bruno Mars, Leon Bridges, Earth, Wind & Fire, Eagles, Huey Lewis, Keith Urban and Miles Davis.
I think, it's because I started as a disc jockey in college. Some of the best: The Godfather, Shawshank Redemption, Caddyshack and Swingers. When it comes to golf, I consider myself more of a landscaper, but I like to donate my time to a number of charity golf tournaments every year.Īll time favorites? I really love movies.

But, we spend most of our free time with family. What are your favorite local hangouts/places, sports & cultural institutions? I love the Red, Bengals, and sports. In fact, I often work alongside my wife, Julie, who is a master "fun-raiser". I also like to act as an emcee/auctioneer for many non-profits. We recently started our family foundation, Madi's House () after the passing of our daughter. I stay busy donating my time as a master of ceremonies for a number of charities. It's been the best place to raise our 4 children. What do you love about living in the Tri-State? I live on the West Side of Cincinnati and the best part of the Tri-State is the family atmosphere. Then, when it comes to our children, I couldn't be more proud of them! God blessed me with a wonderful family. What are you most proud of in your own life? I like to say that "I fooled one good woman into marrying me.so I'm not going to foul it up." I married the former Julie Leis on Septemat Immaculata Church in Mt. Plus, I reported from a category 5 hurricane and life-threatening flooding. It was an incredible year where I covered the strongest tornado ever recorded with winds of 308 mph in Oklahoma. One other note, I'm also proud of the Emmy Award for Best News Talent.
In fact, I still bring in my "comfortable" air mattress frequently using it during severe weather seasons. During the most recent outbreaks, our coverage was credited with saving lives something that means so much to us here. Perhaps, I'm most proud of our tornado coverage where we lead the Tri-State in accuracy and viewers. What are you most proud of when it comes to your work? I'm now entering my 38th year in meteorology covering everything from tornado outbreaks to major snow events.
