Dave Devall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dave Devall is the long time weatherman at television station CFTO in Toronto, Ontario.

Devall is a graduate of York Memorial Collegiate in the former City of York and joined CFTO shortly after the station went on air. Devall is best known in Canada as Jim Perry's announcer on many of his game shows, including Definition, Headline Hunters and Eye Bet.

Despite various new weathercasters, Devall remains the senior and top weatherman at the station, and also appears daily on CTV Newsnet. His funny antics has made him popular with Toronto viewers. During his early years, he would stand behind a clear acrylic glass weather map, which necessitated writing backwards with a marker. He continues the tradition today with a single daily weather word (since the weather maps are now generated electronically.)
