Kosek is best known for his presentation style, which includes loud exclamations, exaggerated motions, tie-ins to popular culture, and screaming comparable to that popularized by comedian Sam Kinison.[1][1] CareerJim Kosek studied meteorology at Penn State University, and after graduation found employment with AccuWeather in 1985. He started out as a rather straightfaced weatherman, but began acting quite strangely from the 1990s onward. He has been described by Business Insider as "the Bill O'Reilly of weather",[2] by The Washington Post as "Al Roker meets Sam Kinison,"[1] and by Jimmy Kimmel as the equivalent of "Glenn Beck becom[ing] a meteorologist."[3] His last day with Accuweather was January 11, 2012.[4] He began employment as Chief Meteorologist for KTVX ABC 4 in Salt Lake City, Utah on January 18, 2012 and ended his employment sometime in the summer of 2014. He was replaced by Dan Pope who returned to KTVX.[5] After KTVX, Kosek began presenting weather at KCTV in Kansas City, Missouri.[6] He joined WGCL-TV in Atlanta, Georgia on December 1, 2014 and made his return to the Chief Meteorologist position. Jim's final day on WGCL was June 23, 2017 after being let go by the station.[7] In December of that year, he joined WLTZ as the station's chief meteorologist.[8] [9] See also
