Former CT Meteorologist Lands New Job At New England Station

CONNECTICUT — Former Fox61 meteorologist Ryan Breton has landed a new job... at a place he knows well.

Breton, who left the Connecticut station last month after nearly three years, has returned to WCSH, also known as News Center Maine, where he worked for more than four years before his Fox61 stint.

"Sometimes... a place just feels like home," Breton wrote on X, where he shared a 15-second welcome back video. "That's @newscentermaine for me!"

He will be on-air weekdays during the 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. broadcasts, and for now, he'll have his weekends free.

"Weekends off...not sure what that's like but I'm looking forward to it!" Breton wrote on Facebook.

Breton previously worked at News Center Maine from May 2017 to November 2021, where he not only worked weekends, but also delivered forecasts during the station's morning broadcasts.

He was nominated for a New England Emmy Award while at the station in 2019, and he often wrote science and environmental news stories for all News Center Maine platforms.

Breton obtained a bachelor's degree in Meteorology from Penn State University (he is a devoted Nittany Lions fan); the school is renowned for its atmospheric science program.

He also received an American Meteorological Society’s Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal in 2018.
