Ian Black is a meteorologist for CBOT, the CBC outlet in Ottawa.
Black joined the local evening news broadcast along with anchor Peter Van Dusen in 1989 and holds the position today [ [http://www.cbc.ca/newsatsixottawa/ianblack.html CBC biography] ] . He is a certified broadcaster with the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, serving as the only CMOS-certified broadcaster in Ottawa and one of only a few to perform local forecasting duties [ [http://www.cmos.ca/weathercasters.html CMOS-endorsed broadcasters] ] .
Current Work
In addition to providing extensive forecasting on "CBC News at Six", Black gives regular updates on the CBO-FM program "All in a Day". His televised segments include a "Weather Watchers' Club" in which volunteers from communities surrounding Ottawa submit current temperatures and conditions, which are superimposed on a map. In 2007, Black visited local elementary schools to talk to children about weather and answer their questions, with highlights appearing on his daily broadcasts.
"Locked Out Live"
During a CBC lockout in 2005, radio personality Alan Neal hosted a half-hour segment outside CBC studios titled "Locked Out Live". Ian Black provided a mock forecast, with lines such as "a lot of hot air on Parliament Hill" [Tony Lofaro: "Locked Out Live occupies locked-out staff: Employees produce their own show on mall" in "The Ottawa Citizen", August 25, 2005, page C2] .
