Steve Pierce Career

Pierce is popularly known as Oregon and Washington’s “go-to guy” when it comes to fast, accurate historical meteorological research and forecasts. He is a third-generation native of Vancouver, Washington, in the United States. Pierce’s grandparents moved here from Iowa during World War II to work in the Kaiser Shipyards building liberty ships to support troops in the battle of the Pacific. He has been the President of the Oregon Chapter of the American Meteorological Society since 2012.

Furthermore, Pierce is the owner of Northwest Weather Consultants (NWC) based out of Vancouver, Washington. NWC provides meteorological and climatological research and forecasts to clients across the Pacific Northwest. His access to the most extensive set of historical weather records available has enabled him to personally design and integrate a proprietary system that gives him the ability to quickly locate and manipulate weather data as far back as the 1800s.

Notably, Pierce is always “watching out for you” when it comes to providing the area’s most accurate forecast. Those familiar with him can attest to the fact that weather is his true passion. Most importantly, his love for “all things weather” started at the age of 7 years when Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980. At age 11 years, he was tasked to publish an extended weekly weather forecast for his elementary school’s newsletter. He graduated from Fort Vancouver High School, then proceeded to Mt. Hood Community College and Washington State University.

Steve Pierce KOIN-TV

KOIN-TV, also known as Channel 6 is a television station in Portland, Oregon, United States. It is affiliated with CBS and is owned by Nexstar Media Group alongside Salem–licensed CW-owned-and-operated station KRCW-TV or channel 32. The two stations share studios in the basement of the KOIN Center skyscraper on Southwest Columbia Street in downtown Portland, while KOIN’s transmitter is located in the Sylvan-Highlands neighborhood of the city. Channel 6 started broadcasting on October 15, 1953, as Portland’s first VHF television station. The station took on an affiliation with the CBS Television Network, to match the radio station.

KOIN currently broadcasts 43.5 hours of locally produced newscasts each week; with 5.5 hours each weekday and 2.5 hours each on Saturdays and Sundays. The station became the first television station in the Portland market to be broadcasting its local newscasts in 16:9 widescreen standard definition on February 1, 2007. Following Oregon Media Insiders, during Montecito’s ownership of the station, its local news ratings declined in all periods; among the four news-producing stations in the Portland market, KOIN had the greatest loss in audience share.

Most importantly, KOIN finished in first position in the 11 p.m. news in the May 2008 NSI sweeps for the first time in ten years. Channel News 6 at 11—unlike a year earlier when it lost over 20 percent of its CBS lead-in share—held its prime time share throughout its 11 p.m. newscast in the May 2008 NSI sweeps. Its then-owners, New Vision Television, fired news director Jeff Alan and replaced him with Lynn Heider in January 2008. Consequently, KOIN dropped its slogan “Bringing News Home” as Jeff Alan had trademarked it under his name in 2000 before he worked at KOIN.
