June means hurricane season. And for Janice Dean, a Canadian weathercaster on FOX News, that likely means long hours. Janice doesn't mind, though, because it also means an opportunity to help make sure people are prepared and safe from natural disasters. " When people listen to those warnings and we don’t have a lot of injuries or deaths, that’s rewarding," she says.
Before joining FOX, Janice was the news editor and entertainment reporter for "Imus in the Morning," on WFAN-AM New York and simulcast nationally on MSNBC. She had also worked as an on-air traffic reporter in New York City, held multiple positions at CHUM Limited in Ottawa, Canada, including morning news anchor, producer and host and anchor, and hosted various radio programs in Houston. Janice began her career in Ottawa, Canada at CHEZ-FM where she was a morning show co-host, reporter and DJ, and shortly after held her first on-camera weather host gig at CBOT Television.
Janice credits her diverse experiences in both television and radio with some of her current success. " When you get out of school it’s fine to have an idea of what you want to do, but be open to other stuff," she says. "If you try other things, you’re going to have a more well-rounded career."
