CANTON ‒ Mix 94.1’s new weather forecaster will be off the air for a few days.
Hollie Strano, the former WKYC Channel 3 TV meteorologist, announced she will not handle the forecast for the next few days while she recovers from an injury sustained over the weekend.
“What a wild weekend!” she said in a Facebook post. “Grady moved into OSU and I met the OSU paramedics and the wonderful ER team at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus.”
Strano said she was injured while helping her son set up his dorm room.
“Looks like making a dorm bed could be hazardous to your health,” she said in a Facebook post. “9 staples later and the worst concussion ever. So I will be off Abruptly Authentic and Radio for a few days.”
When did Strano join Mix-94 FM in Canton?
Last week, Strano announced she would join the team at Mix 94.1, delivering the forecast Monday-Sunday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
“Now you know where to find me in NE Ohio!” she said in a Facebook post. “So much love for you Stark County and Canton!”
Strano was fired from WKYC last year. Her termination came nine months after she was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence in November 2023.
“I am sad to share that after 22 plus years of dedicated work, WKYC and Tegna decided to terminate my employment after I shared my recovery journey publicly,” she posted following her termination. “I believe the actions of WKYC and Tegna demonstrate the stigma surrounding addiction that so many in our community experience every day.”
WKYC has denied wrongdoing and asked that Stano’s lawsuit against the company be dismissed.
