Starting her career as a newsroom assistant at BBC Radio Nottingham, the broadcaster, born and raised in Oxfordshire, moved on to spend 26 years presenting on BBC Look East.

She stated, “It’s not an easy decision to leave my Look East and neighborhood radio family, but it seems like the right time to do so.”

“It has been a privilege to provide our viewers and listeners with the region’s forecast for many years.” We’ve had a lot of fun and laughter along the way, she continued, “whether it’s rain or shine.”

I feel very fortunate to be able to work in such a picturesque region of the nation and to have a special relationship with the people who live here.

I always feel so honored when people approach me in the street or in the supermarket, as though I’m a lifetime member of a great family.

Julie has been a positive influence on BBC Look East and our region’s BBC local radio stations for the past 26 years, according to Robert Thompson, BBC senior head of content production for the east.

Julie has remained as a trusted friend throughout it, even when the weather has been rough. We’ll miss her and wish her many years of success.

Reinger described the work as being extremely significant to her both on and off screen.

Reinger also presented weather bulletins for BBC Essex, BBC Three Counties Radio, and BBC Radio Norfolk when she joined BBC Look East in 1999 to do lunchtime and nightly forecasts.

The weather was also broadcast on BBC Radio Suffolk, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, and BBC Radio Northampton.

She remarked, “How lucky I am to have something, that makes saying goodbye so difficult. “

I will miss my colleagues, everyone who listens, and the people who watched and listen to me greatly because of how special my experience was on Look East and local radio.
