Montreal, QC (November 5, 2012) – CTV Montréal continues a month of celebrity weather broadcasts with Montreal Alouettes Quarterback Anthony Calvillo at the helm of its second instalment airing tomorrow, Tuesday, November 6 at 6 p.m. ET. Calvillo’s weathercast follows last week’s weather news brought to viewers by Canadiens’ Defenceman P.K. Subban, during a four-week special series of surprise weathercasters on CTV NEWS AT SIX.
