Chief Meteorologist

Tyler Jankoski

Hello! My career with Hearst Television began in January 2017. Before that, I worked at WGGB in Springfield and then WVIT in Connecticut. I grew up in Connecticut, graduated from Penn State, and have over 11 years of professional experience.

I am proud to serve as Chief Meteorologist for WPTZ-TV, NBC5 News, now the most-watched station in beautiful Burlington, Vermont. The American Meteorological Society has tapped me to give a speech to a national audience in 2026 about our success here.

I believe my long career in New England, coupled with my strong weather leadership at NBC5 during the station’s historic rise to number one, proves I am uniquely qualified to join one of America’s best broadcasters in WCVB-TV Boston.
