Candice King Career
Candice is an American journalist working as the chief meteorologist at WTVO Channel 17 News in Rockford, Illinois. She grew up on a dairy farm in Ridott, Illinois, and has always been interested in the weather. She did not pursue her interest in meteorology until the release of the film “Twister.” Following her graduation from college, King worked as an intern at 13 WREX, where she developed her skills and gained confidence. In 2005, she began working at WREX, and four years later, she joined WTVO/FOX 39.
In October 2012, Candice was extremely thrilled to win Highland Community College’s coveted “Distinguished Alumni Award.” Additionally, she has received two Emmy nominations and one Illinois Broadcasters Association Silver Dome Award nomination. Candice is passionate about educating viewers about the weather in addition to forecasting it. She likes to interact with the community, whether it be at luncheon meetings, school speeches, or just chatting about the weather at the county fair.
For Candice, the Rochelle/Fairdale tornado on April 9, 2015, stands out as a very memorable meteorological event. A catastrophic EF 4 tornado passed through Rochelle that day, almost erasing the tiny community of Fairdale from the map. In the months that followed, as cleanup for those villages and farmsteads proceeded, Candice understood the need to ensure that every residence in the town of Fairdale had a functional weather radio.
Later that spring, she bought hundreds of First Alert NOAA weather radios to give to the people of Fairdale, working with the DeKalb County Long Term Recovery Team. She took great pride in this outreach and continues to do so today. Additionally, Candice successfully certified Eyewitness News as a National Weather Service Storm Ready Supporter. In addition to ensuring the safety of viewers, she also takes delight in ensuring that station employees are aware of what to do and where to go in the event of severe weather.
