Legendary NYC TV Meteorologist, Frank Field, Dies at 100
One of the most iconic faces in New York City broadcasting has passed away. Television meteorologist Frank Field died on Saturday at the age of 100. WNBC-TV announced the news this weekend.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Field family who lost their legendary dad, Dr. Frank Field," Roker wrote online Sunday. "He was at WNBC when I started doing weekend weather,teaching me the ropes and the lay of the land."
Roker went on to wish Field well comparing him to longtime TODAY Show Meteorologist, Willard Scott.
