So long, familiar faces

Kris Kuyper and Cecile Juliette bid farewell to Action News Now

It appears Chico’s Action News Now is changing its lineup. Last month, chief meteorologist Kris Kuyper announced he’s departing because “the station has decided to move in a different direction.” And earlier this week, anchor/reporter Cecile Narboni (better known as Cecile Juliette) told viewers that she’s taken a job as a public information officer for Cal Fire’s San Mateo-Santa Cruz unit.

Kuyper has advised Action News Now viewers about the weather for 12 years. He says via Facebook that he plans to stick around town to do weather consulting for the time being.

Narboni said: “This is the last week of my career in journalism. It’s been an amazing, wild, tumultuous, exhilarating roller coaster. But it is time for a change.”
