WABC
Storm Field's first foray into weathercasting came as part of WABC's Eyewitness News program. Field made his debut on November 29, 1976 as a replacement for the fired Tex Antoine, who had been dismissed for an inappropriate comment concerning a rape story five days earlier. Field's primary responsibilities were the 6 PM and 11 PM newscasts, with other forecasters (such as Ira Joe Fisher and Sam Champion) appearing on the 5 PM newscast. In 1978 Storm Filed joined the morning team with Jimmy Fink and Shelli Sonstein at New York radio station WPLJ.
In addition to his weather duties, in 1981 Field became the anchor of the recently launched 5 PM Eyewitness News broadcast, working alongside Tracy Egan and (later) Kaity Tong. He would do so until 1983, when Tom Snyder took over the newscast, and subbed off and on until 1984. He left WABC altogether in 1991 and was replaced by Sam Champion on the 6 PM and 11 PM Eyewitness News broadcasts.
