Ken Siemek Career

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with amazing people, travel to amazing locations, and learn incredible things. This is my home state, and viewers of 10/11 NOW are a part of my extended family. Through our mutual love of this state and our passion for the weather, I’ve been able to interact with thousands of others.”

Ken was named Chief Meteorologist for 10/11 in May of 1986. “It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Nebraska. The highlights of my career have been the people I’ve worked with and the viewers I’ve met along the way.” Ken is a die-hard sports enthusiast who grew up in Columbus, Nebraska. He enjoys all sports but adds that at his “old age,” golf tends to be at the top of his list most of the time.

Ken keeps track of all of the Husker teams. “I admire the Midwest work ethic and sense of “team” that the best of “Big Red” can provide.” He claims that if he had to eat only one food for the rest of his life, it would be pizza. His favorite actor is Clint Eastwood, and he laughs out loud at Larry The Cable Guy. “I wish they made more Westerns, and I wish Seinfeld had never ended,” Ken says.

Ken notes that after more than three decades of weather predicting, “More accuracy, more wild Nebraska weather, and more opportunities to meet more of you are all things I’m looking forward to. After all, it is my responsibility, as well as the true core of journalism, to inform and serve the audience. There would be no need for me if it weren’t for you, and I vow I will never forget that. Thank you for watching, and remember to keep your eyes on the sky!”
