Former KELOLAND weathercaster Shawn Cable is going to KSFY-TV.

And who told you way back on May 31, 2008 on how it would all go down?

South Dakota Watch did.

Here's main part of the post:

KSFY Doing a Shawn Cable Shuffle? And, a Weather Coverage Review

A source of mine with a history of reliability poses the following scenario about ex-KELOLAND weathercaster Shawn Cable landing across town at KSFY-TV:

Management moved Patrick (Griesgraber) to weekends with the intent of keeping him and then they will let the new kid go when the time comes with the pretense that he isn’t cutting it and then,…BAM, Shawn does the morning show which will help their ratings. It makes all the sense in the world. Would Cable take the gig? Without a doubt. The other senerio is that by moving Patrick to weekends it would p*ss him off to the point of where he would want to quit thus putting (Derick) Fabert back to weekends and again, Cable goes to mornings. Anyway you cut it………Shawn signs with KSFY. What do you think? His non-compete is over July 31.
Shawn is doing the morning show gig. He starts August 25th.

Funny. The KSFY story doesn't mention Shawn's many years at KELOLAND.

It's nice to be right. And no thanks are necessary.

And congratulations Shawn. (And thanks for another story that will bring tons of hits!)

(Hat tip SouthDakotaMac!)
