On Friday, March 15th, an advertisement for certified meteorologists to apply for the position of weather reporter at WALA-TV was posted on the official World Wide Web site for the station and the official site for the Alabama Broadcasters Association. Visitors of the site for WALA-TV were able to access to advertisement located there by visiting its "About Us" section while visitors of the site for the Alabama Broadcasters Association were able to access the advertisement located there by visiting its "Job Bank" section.
By the time the advertisement was posted on both sites, WALA-TV still had four weather reporters on their staff: Jason Smith, Matt Barrentine, Chasity Byrd, and Michael White (Michael White was the last person hired by the station for a position in weather reporting. His tenure began in December 2009). Jason Smith's other position at the station was hosting the "FOX 10 Outdoors" segments for the station's Thursday morning newscasts and segments of the local TV series "Outdoors with Jason Smith", Chasity Byrd's other positions were news presenter for the station's 4:00 p.m. newscasts and news reporter, and Matt Barrentine's other positions were news presenter for the station's 9:00 p.m. newscasts on Sunday and news reporter.
