Jupiter will be arriving from WSTM-TV in Syracuse, New York, where he was morning news anchor. Before that, he had reporting gigs at stations in Cincinnati and Roanoke and Charlottesville, Virginia, according to his LinkedIn page.
Jupiter is filling the spot on Channel 58's roster vacated by Pauleen Le, who left the morning news anchor job in March to become a reporter at WCCO-TV in Minneapolis.
“The people are what made me want to come back to the Midwest," Jupiter, a graduate of Columbia College in Chicago, said in the station's announcement.
