TV Profile: Scott Fisher

You might know them, but do you know what they watch? A prominent meteorologist kicks off our series of local personalities and their viewing habits, but it could be anybody: a television personality; a politician; that oxymoron of a couch potato from your health club. Check back every Monday to see who's next.

Scott Fisher,
Chief Meteorologist, KTBC FOX 7

Number of years in this position: Nine Years


I love my job because: I love talking to people and telling stories. You name the topic … I love to talk about it! As a FOX 7 meteorologist, I get to tell stories about the weather — it's my perfect television job in what I think is the perfect city! The fun for me is each and every day finding new and interesting ways to explain what is happening, why it's happening, what may lead to weather changes and when and how those changes (even subtle ones) may occur.

Here's what's on my DVR:
Family Guy
American Dad
Loads of History Channel Stuff (which is interesting, as I dreaded history in high school)
Forensic Files
South Park
Baseball's Greatest Games and Heroes
Modern Marvels


My all-time favorite TV show is: Seinfeld but Family Guy is my favorite when it comes to what's still on the air.

You'll never catch me watching: C-SPAN but C-SPAN2 is AMAZING (just kidding)

If I have insomnia, the show that lulls me back to sleep is: Antiques Roadshow

A current show I never miss is: Family Guy, South Park, 24, The Mentalist, Prison Break (alas, just canceled) and any METS baseball game.

If my TV is on, it's probably tuned to this channel: Comedy Central or of course, FOX 7
