The Duluth ABC affiliate’s feature was titled Sophia’s Story and was reported by Cassie Limpert and photographed by Dan Bergh.

KBJR-TV Channels 6 and 11 and WDSE-TV Channel 8 were shutout.

The region includes Minnesota, western Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa.

After being let go by Fox 21News last week, meteorologist Karl Spring has found his next media outlet — the blogosphere.

Spring will write a weather (and other hobbies) journal on Howie Hanson’s blog.

In his first post, Spring wouldn’t shed any new details on the reason he was let go by Fox. He introduced himself, rambled about the situation at Fox and talked about what else he will write about, including the pesky Minnesota Twins.
