On December 2, 2013, Ginger was officially promoted to the network’s Chief Meteorologist, taking over from Sam Champion after he left the network to take a job with The Weather Channel. Watch the moment it happened below…
Ginger took to her Instagram to mark the huge decade milestone with the clip of Sam unofficially passing off the baton (or rain boots) to her to mark the occasion).
Several other colleagues from the show were featured in the clip, sharing more insight into Ginger and how much of a valuable addition she was to the team, and clearly she was moved.
In the caption alongside the clip, she wrote: “Tomorrow marks 10 years since I officially became chief meteorologist at ABC News (I honestly didn’t realize it was this date – until my friend @producerrob sent me this video as a celebration gift) – 12 years in total here at @abcnews, it’s a ride that’s beyond my wildest dreams.”
