She then moved to The Weather Network, where for the next eight years provided weather forecasts for radio stations in every major market in Canada, including the then newly-created 680News.

Comfortable in both English and French, she managed The Weather Network and MeteoMedia radio departments, and moved to Toronto in 1997 to explore radio sales for the Pelmorex Radio Network. Less than a year later she realized how much she missed being on air and took a position in television.

Viewers across the country woke up to her every week day on The Weather Network as host of the Morning Report. Barbara took a break in 2000 for several years to raise a family, and returned to broadcasting in 2007 as a weather announcer on 680News. She now has added news anchor to her duties, a return to her journalism roots.
