Clayton Brough
Retires in 2008 after more than 30 Years on Television
KTVX-ABC4 Television News Release, November 3, 2008
"Clayton
Brough's 30 Years on Utah Television (and Retirement from TV), VIDEO -
ABC4-KTVX-TV, Nov.23, 3008
Clayton Brough, well-known for his "8-14
day" weather forecasts and one of the nation's few "broadcast
climatologists", will retire from KTVX-ABC4 by the end of November
2008, after spending more than 30 years on television and presenting thousands
of weather forecasts.
Brough,
who is 58 years old and survived cancer in 2004, says he recently made
the decision to retire from television in an effort to "conserve
my energy, preserve my health, and spend more time with my wife, children
and grandchildren."
Brough worked at KUTV-2 from 1978 to 1980.
In July 1980, he began working full-time at KTVX-ABC4, and since 1986
he's been Channel 4's weekend climatologist and weather forecaster. His
more than 28 years of weather broadcasting on one television station places
him in a unique crowd--as only a few television anchors, weather forecasters
or sportscasters have ever enjoyed such a long run on one television station.
Over the past thirty years, Brough has also
worked as a full-time public education teacher, consulted and written
extensively on Utah's weather and climate, served as an adjunct university
instructor in geography at Brigham Young University and the University
of Utah, and been president of one of the world's largest ancestral family
history organizations. "After many years of working multiple jobs
seven days a week, I'm getting older and slower," Brough said, "and
I want to spend more time with my wife and family, and pursue more family
history work." He says, "I will miss my television family, friends
and viewers, and I greatly appreciate their years of support and encouragement;
but I'm now putting my broadcasting days behind me, and I plan on spending
the next several years teaching weather, climate and geography to my secondary
and university students."
Brough's last day on KTVX-ABC4 will be Sunday
evening, November 23, 2008.
Clayton Brough
to Retire in 2012 after more than 30 Years of Teaching
BFO News Release,
October 5, 2011
After more than thirty years of teaching
Geography to secondary and college students, Clayton Brough recently announced
his decision to retire from all teaching responsiblities in June 2012.
His last day of teaching Geography classes to students at the University
of Utah Murray Center will be on December 13, 2011; his last day of teaching
Geography classes to students at the Brigham Young University Salt Lake
Center will be on December 15, 2011; and his last day of teaching Geography
classes to students at Eisenhower Junior High School (in Taylorsville,
Utah) will be on June 1, 2012.
In a personal letter to some of his colleagues,
Clayton explained that he "presently serves as the genealogist for
the Brough Family Organization (BFO) (www.broughfamily.org)"
and that he and his wife were "heavily involved in research projects
supported by the BFO and other family history organizations" and
had decided to "work full-time in fulfilling these and other related
family history opportunities and responsibilities." In addition,
he thanked his associates and students for their "past kindnesses
and support" and for their "continued friendship and professionalism."
