The weather report with Carol Reed, the local weather girl on WCBS-TV Channel 2 in New York City. She would always end her weather reports by saying "Have a Happy," most appropriately signing off on each December 31st. Archival Television Audio, Inc. has only one brief archived example of Carol Reed wheatear forecasting on WCBS television. This rare 35 second opening is all that exists in any known archive in the country. The broadcast opens with the announcer introducing the program: " Greyhound presents Carol Reed with the Late Weather." After Carol Reed says "good evening to her television viewers, she states that currently there is a rapid decline in temperature in the New York area. Carol Reed had a long run on WCBS TV News as the "weather girl" form 1952 to her final regularly scheduled early evening report (7:10-7:15 PM, and briefly 7:25-7:30 PM) and late evening report (11:15 - 11:20 PM) September 20, 1963. NOTE: Carol Reed (1925 or 1926 – June 4, 1970), always introduced as "Carol Reed, the weather girl", presented the weather portion of the evening newscasts on WCBS-TV in New York City from 1952 to 1963/1964. Not trained in meteorology, she nevertheless proved popular with viewers because of her cheerful demeanor and her characteristic signoff, "Good night and have a happy!" In 1958, she gained national recognition, as the commercial spokesperson for Nabisco. After her run on channel 2 ended, she hosted a radio show on WCBS (AM) prior to its changeover to a current all-news format. She died of cancer on June 4, 1970, in Mamaroneck, New York at age 44. For decades WCBS‐TV News was aired as a 15 minute broadcast. The first 10 minutes dealt with the local news and the final 5 minutes focused strictly on the weather, as a weather program. It was the end of a television era soon to be realized by all local NYC channels, in 1963 & 1964, when a specific five minute weather broadcast entity of its own would be telecast. News would take priority, and the weather would be incorporated within the news, it getting as little or as much time as it merited. 12 years of Carol Reed broadcasting the weather is almost not extant in any form, kinescope or videotape.1969-04-14, WABC, 105 min.
