Marisa Woloszyn has been named the meteorologist for the morning newscast on WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), as the station reshuffles its weather lineup in advance of the departure of Brian Gotter.
The Milwaukee NBC affiliate announced Thursday that Woloszyn would be the primary meteorologist on "TMJ News Today" starting Oct. 3.
She's replacing Brian Niznansky, who earlier this month was named chief meteorologist at Channel 4 to replace Gotter. Niznansky's new job moves him up to doing the weather on the station's evening newscasts, also starting Oct. 3.
I’m am very excited to share that I will be joining @TMJ4 News Today starting Oct. 3. I am very grateful for this opportunity and everyone that has helped me get to this point! ⛈ https://t.co/Go6QeWrf4f

Gotter announced in June that he was retiring and taking a full-time job with the MACC Fund.
Woloszyn joined Channel 4 in January 2021 as the meteorologist on the station's weekend morning newscasts. Before that, Woloszyn, who grew up in the Detroit area, spent nearly nine years at KEZI-TV in Eugene, Oregon, including as the station's chief meteorologist.
News of Woloszyn's new gig completes the reshuffling of Channel 4's morning news team.
Earlier this month, the station named Tom Durian and Symone Woolridge as co-anchors of the morning newscast, with longtime anchor Susan Kim shifting to a co-anchor spot on Channel 4's 4 p.m. newscast with Steve Chamraz. All of the changes were internal moves.
Kim's longtime co-anchor, Vince Vitrano, left the station and television in February to host the morning show on WTMJ-AM (620).
