Q. Weatherman Jeff Verszyla on Channel 4 is the best-dressed man on that station. I would love to know what brand of suits he wears or the identity of his tailor.

— Bob, Mt. Washington

Rob: “Over the course of many years, I have built up a solid wardrobe,” Verszyla said. “Suits have come from various places and are different brands. I always have any suit I buy properly tailored, so the fit is the best possible. I also put thought into the shirt, tie and pocket square combos I wear with any suit. Thanks for the compliment!!”

Q: When can we expect to get the digital subchannel channel RewindTV over the air? We get Antenna TV, but not Rewind. The channel has a ton of interesting shows, yet isn’t available in this area. How can we request a channel adds Rewind TV over the air?

— Tyler from Jeannette

Rob: Per a Rewind TV spokesperson, “Rewind TV continues to search for affiliates across the country and we do not have a timeline for when Rewind TV might come to the local market. We thank viewers in the Pittsburgh market for their interest and hopefully, they will be able to tune in to Rewind TV soon.”

As for how to get it on locally, try contacting local stations and ask them to pick it up. Probably won’t work — carrying a digital subchannel is usually all about coming to financial terms — but making the request is really a viewer’s only recourse.

Q: What happened to Kasie Hunt on MSNBC’s “Way too Early?” She disappeared and they never said where she went.

— Neal. Butler

Rob: Hunt announced her departure on the July 16 broadcast of “Way Too Early,” saying, “I have really loved spending most of the last year with you, seeing your pets and your babies and learning why you are awake and watching. And of course bringing you the news,” per The Hollywood Reporter.

In August, CNN announced it hired Hunt as chief national affairs analyst and to anchor a daily political show on the upcoming CNN+ streaming service that’s expected to launch in 2022.

Q: Does Richard Schlesinger still work for “48 Hours?” He is my favorite and I haven’t seen him for quite a while.

— Sherry, Murrysville

Rob: He does still work for “48 Hours.” I’m told Schlesinger will report two new editions of “48 Hours” on the schedule for January, but exact dates have not been set.

Q: CNN’s Poppy Harlow has not been on with Jim Sciutto for a while. Why not?

— Ron, Irwin

Rob: Harlow announced on the air in August that she’s taking a leave from CNN for a two-semester Master of Studies in Law degree program at Yale. She’s expected to be back on CNN as a fill-in anchor during the holidays and other days she doesn’t have class.

At the time of the announcement, Harlow said on the air that the program is only going to be until the spring, “so you’re not getting rid of me very long.”

Q: On “Hoarders,” who pays for all the clean-up jobs being done?

— Eileen, Hempfield

Rob: The production company that makes “Hoarders” pays for the cleanup for the people featured on the series.
