rdf:langString William Troy Dungan Jr. (born November 17, 1936), better known as Troy Dungan, was the former chief weather anchor at WFAA-TV in Dallas, Texas for 30 years. Dungan graduated from Baylor University, where he earned a Bachelor's degree. He received private meteorological training from the National Engineering Science Company in Houston while employed at KTRK-TV. Dungan began his career at KWTX-TV in Waco, Texas in 1958. After working in Orlando, KTRK-TV in Houston, then CBS O&O WCAU in Philadelphia, and then ABC O&O WXYZ-TV in Detroit—Dungan joined ABC affiliate, WFAA-TV, in Dallas as chief weather anchor on July 19, 1976. At WCAU he was the first weatherman to use the current 5-day forecast system. Before 1976, weather predictions were typically for a maximum of two days ahead. Since July 19, 2006, the day of Dungan's 30th anniversary with WFAA-TV, he presented the weather only during News 8 at Six, with Pete Delkus taking over his duties at News 8 at Five and The News 8 Update (10 p.m.). This was to facilitate the transition from Dungan to Delkus as chief meteorologist/weather anchor for WFAA-TV. Troy's last day was July 18, 2007. In 2014, he became a spokesperson for 50 Floor with the jingle: "Call 877 50-FLOOR. Pick up the phone, we'll be knocking at your door!"
