BIO
André Bernier, now retired from WJW-TV, Cleveland, Ohio, served one their team of meteorologists since 1988, until his retirement from television on May 22, 2024.
He joined WJW in 1988 when the station broke ground in Cleveland by starting a one-hour, weekday-morning newscast from 6AM to 7AM. He stayed on weekday mornings for over 19 years before moving over to join Cleveland icon, Dick Goddard. André also developed the outdoor weather set idea, a concept that he brought with him from his previous position at KARE-TV-11, the NBC affiliate in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
André is now heard six days a week on WKJA-FM, Heartfelt Radio (91.9 FM) located in Barberton, Ohio. You can listen on line from anywhere on the TuneIn app or at HeartfeltRadio.org. His meteorologist wife, Sally, covers the forecast duties on Sundays.
André is married to Sally, a familiar name in Cleveland television who is also a degreed meteorologist (they met in college in 1978). Sally fully retired from broadcast meteorology in 2008 to be a stay-at-home Mom to their son, Noah, who has since graduated with a degree in engineering from Liberty University in central Virginia.
