Jay Donovan retires after nearly 50 years in broadcasting

WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) – With nearly 50 years of broadcasting on his resume, local radio DJ and former WWNY meteorologist Jay Donovan has retired.

In the 90s and early 2000s, Jay was the go-to weather broadcaster here at Channel 7, tracking everything from snow, ice and thunderstorms to warm sunny days.

Jay also spent years on local morning radio at 790 WTNY AM and later on Z93 FM.

A recent health issue has now forced Jay to retire from broadcasting.

Donovan said this to 7NEWS: “With a personal goal of 50 years in broadcasting, I didn’t quite make it and it’s time to hang up the headphones for good.   It has been a pleasure serving the north country for 48 years. It is important for me to let everyone know it meant the world to me.”
