Background and Age
JC Monahan is from Newton, Massachusetts. In 1994, she got a bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Maine. She continued her education by attending Mississippi State University where she completed a Broadcast Meteorology Program. Her education at MSU would be the launching pad for her eventual career.
Marriage and Children
JC Monahan was married to Jim Farrell, the director at WGBH. She is a mother of two children with him, and the two worked in the same profession of news reporting. Sharing the same passion and interests allowed them to develop a strong bond. The couple’s first child was born on October 18, 2006 and was named Catherine. Six years later, on March 28, 2012, another child was born to the family and was named Victoria Rose.
Everything was moving forward for Monahan in her career, and for years she had the support of her husband, who kept a low profile and stayed out of the media. Monahan filed for divorce from Farrell in 2017, around the time she left WCVB. She is a compassionate and loving mother who wants the best for her two daughters.
Career and Net Worth
JC Monahan’s career took off at the WZON station in Bangor, Maine where she worked as a News Director. During her time at WZON, she was awarded by the Associated Press for her great work and professionalism. Monahan then relocated south to work as an entertainment and weekend forecaster reporter for WPXT-TV in Maine. After this stint, she became the reporter for weather-related activities at NECN. In April of 2006, Monahan announced that she was pregnant and would have to take some time off to deliver the baby.
On April 8, 2013, it was announced that Monahan would be leaving her post as a weathercaster to become co-anchor for Chronicle. In the weather division, Monahan was replaced by Cindy Fitzgibbon, a previous WFXT meteorologist, who started work at WCVB in April 2013. The new roles did not last long because Fitzgibbon went on to work for NewsCenter5 EyeOpener and Monahan was signed up for a program on NewsCenter 5 Midday.
Monahan left WCVB in early 2017 after about 15 years with the station and joined NBC’s Boston outlet, WBTS-CD (NBC10 Boston), as an anchor later that year.
