Matney's part-time job

People in Amarillo would approach Paul Matney for years and ask him how it felt to only work two days a week.
They would see him on television Saturdays and Sundays delivering the weather.
Matney, who officially became the 13th president of Amarillo College Wednesday, had to correct them.
He actually worked seven days a week; five for Amarillo College or West Texas A&M and two for a television station.
For 19 years, Matney worked for KVII and KAMR as the weekend weatherman.
He started in 1972 when the news director of KVII was taking graduate classes in mass communication at West Texas A&M, where Matney was a graduate student. The news director asked Matney to come in to the Amarillo station and cut an audition tape.
“A week later, I was doing weekend weather,” Matney said in a recent interview.
Matney, 59, still laughs today when thinking about people who would ask him about retirement when he stopped appearing on the air in the early 1990s.
Don’t worry. Matney is still working, now as the president of Amarillo College.
