Spann has served as the Chief Meteorologist for ABC affiliate 33/40 for 25 years and can be seen on weeknights at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., 6 p.m., and 10 p.m. In all, Spann has been a television weather anchor for 44 years. He has received the two highest awards in the nation for a broadcast meteorologist.
The staff of WES wanted to be sure that James Spann had a special taste of Demopolis, so he was gifted with “turtleback cookies” from LuLu’s Coffee Shop.
