Four meteorologists from local TV stations around the country will get the chance to raise up to $50,000 for charity by guessing what America thinks.

Amber Sullins, chief meteorologist for Phoenix ABC affiliate KNXV, Mark Johnson, chief meteorologist for Cleveland ABC affiliate WEWS, George Flickinger, meteorologist for Tulsa NBC affiliate KJRH and Gary Lezak, chief meteorologist for Kansas City NBC affiliate KSHB will duke it out on TV game show “Let’s Ask America” next Thursday, January 31.

“Let’s Ask America” is a televised game show with four contestants playing over Skype.  The contestants must predict how Americans answered questions like, “What did commuters say is the most difficult type of weather to drive in?” The show is produced by Scripps and Warner Bros. Telepictures and airs as a replacement for Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy in some markets. Read more

Beginning next week, weekend meteorologist George Flickinger will move to the weekday morning spot on Tulsa NBC-affiliate KJRH.

Flickinger replaces Julie Chin, who is leaving the station after 9 years for personal reasons, according to the official station announcement. Her last day will be December 23.

Flickinger, a meteorologist at KJRH since 1996, will join co-anchors Deana Silk and Justin Wilfon on the weekday morning newscasts. In announcing the changes, news director Steve Weinstein said the station was “fortunate to be able to hire from within.”
