Pete Bouchard Biography

Pete Bouchard (born in California) is a meteorologist at NBCBoston since they launched on January 1, 2017. Immediately prior, he worked at sister station New England Cable News, which he joined on January 11, 2016.

Career

Bouchard began working at WHDH in June 2002, before being promoted to chief meteorologist in 2005 when previous chief meteorologist Todd Gross left.

Controversy

During the 5:30p.m. broadcast on Monday, January 18, 2010, Bouchard told what many believed to be an off-colored joke while giving updates on local snowfall totals. He said, "In Princeton, we picked up 9 inches of snow, Billerica had 7. The biggest amount that I could find...almost as big as me. About nine inches". The video went viral on the Internet. WHDH had the video taken off of YouTube and it was explained as a technical error and that Bouchard was unaware of the way his comments could be misconstrued.
