Former WBNS-10TV Meteorologist Jerry Martz Joins Spectrum News 1: A Quick Turnaround
In a surprising turn of events, former WBNS-10TV chief meteorologist Jerry Martz is back on the airwaves, but this time at Spectrum News 1. Just under two months after his departure from the local station, Martz made his on-air debut at the statewide news network on January 31, 2026. This marks a swift return to television for Martz, who had been with WBNS-10TV for approximately two years as their chief meteorologist.
Spectrum News 1's chief meteorologist, Eric Elwell, announced Martz's new role in a Facebook post, welcoming him to the team. Elwell stated that Martz will be filling in as a meteorologist from time to time, and his first few appearances on television began on January 31. Martz confirmed his role and expressed excitement about sharing his skills and talent with viewers across the state.
Martz's departure from WBNS-10TV was noted just before Christmas, and he has since been freelancing for Spectrum News 1. Despite his new role, Martz mentioned that he is still seeking a full-time position, and his appearances on Spectrum News 1 are subject to the station's scheduling needs. With his familiar face in central Ohio, Martz's return to television is a notable development in the local news landscape, leaving viewers curious about his future contributions to the statewide news network.
