[3] George eventually landed at KOLD-TV in Tucson, Arizona where he is currently the chief meteorologist. While in Houston, Hohenstein was known for the Sunshine Award, where he visited schools across southeast Texas in the station's helicopter nearly every day. [4] After departing from KPRC-TV in Febrauary 2006, Hohenstein was again linked to Chuck George, this time at KOLD-TV while briefly freelancing in Tucson at the same station. [5] [6]

His weather reports can also be heard on some Cumulus Broadcasting radio stations in the Triangle and Fayetteville.
In 2011, Hohenstein had the misfortune of swallowing a bug live on TV one day during his weather broadcast and, thanks to the Internet, made news all around the world. [8] The station started a promotional campaign in 2012 where Hohenstein is presenting weather facts at the beginning only to reveal an odd setting for the promo part of the way through. [9] The most unusual of these promos has Hohenstein presenting a weather fact standing in an area lake while in a shirt and tie. The promos end with the line "I'm Chief Meteorologist Wes Hohenstein and that's a fact." These promos were well-received in the market and won an Emmy Award for the station in 2014.
Hohenstein has also been a part of several changes on the evening anchor desk at WNCN. Evening news anchor Penn Holderness left the station at the beginning of 2014 [10] followed by news anchor Pam Saulsby departing in the summer of 2014. [11] In February 2016, WNCN switched its affiliation from NBC to CBS with the former network now on WRAL-TV. [12]
