There is a guy in the Bay Area (California) with the last name of Cole
that predicts earthquakes by listening to HF or VLF frequencies on a
receiver.  I don't know if he is a Ham or even the person the news
was referring to, but my guess is that it was him.  I met him once and
he was a bit eccentric.  Most experts have dismissed his predictions
but he HAS predicted a few correctly.  He says that he can hear
fluctuations of radiowaves on his receiver, weeks prior to an earthquake.

Very few "earthquake predictors" are taken seriously.
