Jack Hubley is a wildlife nature expert, retired TV host, and current president of the PA Falconry and Hawk Trust. He was notably known for his 30 years as WGAL's host and naturalist for the segments "Call of the Outdoors" and "Wild Moments," until he retired in 2017. He is also known for being an advocate and master falconer of eagles for the natural wildlife in the Susquehanna Valley.[1]
Hubley grew up on Cherry Street in Lititz, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Lebanon Valley College, he explored an interest in wildlife, which would become his lifelong journey that he has great respect for.[2]
From 1982 to 2000, Jack worked as a reporter and outdoors editor for Lancaster Farming. Still, after years of entertaining readers, he went into television and joined WGAL in 1987 and was named host of Call of the Outdoors after an audition for the job paid off. The show went on for 10 years until 1997 when the format changed to a new title called Call of the Outdoors for Kids. It lasted until 2000, when it was then changed to Wild Moments and the show became nationally syndicated, where Hubley (for the first time) got his chance to host a syndicated show which aired as a segment on Friday evenings on News 8 at 5:30.[3]
He would show viewers of the Susquehanna Valley on Wild Moments so many wildlife species found in the area that are native right in their own backyards, and would also show up at WGAL's studios to bring some of those animals as special guests when necessary, while answering viewers' questions and also participated in presentations showing many birds and among other animals.[4][5][6]
On April 28, 2017, Hubley retired from WGAL after 30 years on-air entertaining viewers with many wildlife around the Susquehanna Valley, and WGAL News 8 looked back on Hubley's career and what he plans on doing next.[7]
Though he retired from TV, Hubley continues to enjoy wildlife more often, which is his lifelong dream, and continues to entertain people by going to zoos and other places, bringing in his special owls and eagles. He also continues to be president of the Pennsylvania Falconry & Hawk Trust.[8]
He is married to his wife, Tina, and has 2 daughters.[citation needed]
In 2020, Hubley was inducted into the WGAL Hall of Fame.[citation needed]
