Conder Returns Home As KOCO Weatherman

After spending the last three years in Fort Wayne, Ind., at LIN Media’s WANE, meteorologist Jonathan Conder is returning to Oklahoma City as the weekend weatherman at Hearst’s KOCO.

Prior to working at WANE, Conder worked at KFOR, Oklahoma City’s NBC affiliate, from 2005-2010. Conder says he’s excited to join the KOCO weather team in a state that has had its fair share of extreme weather in the past year.

“When we moved away three years ago, I had no idea how much I would miss Oklahoma,” Conder said in a statement. “My Sooner-born wife and I are delighted to be back home. I look forward to helping the team keep Oklahomans safe during severe weather.”

Conder won the 2008 Oklahoma Associated Press First Place Award for Weather Event Coverage and the 2008 Society of Professional Journalists First Place Award for Television Weather Reporting. He won an Emmy in 2004 and was named Air National Guard Transportation Airman of the Year for his military service in 1999.
