Eric Fisher Leaving TWC
« on: June 26, 2013, 05:19:58 PM »
This was on Eric Fisher's Facebook page.

A bittersweet but exciting announcement: Monday will be my last day at TWC. Will be extremely sad to leave my TWC family, but I will be taking up the post as Chief Meteorologist at WBZ-TV in BOSTON. Wicked excited to be be back around all our family!! These past 3 years were something I'll never forget. I'll say one thing...TWC is the most unique/amazing place for any Meteorologist to work, and I'm extremely grateful for my time there. Here's to the rollercoster of life! :thumbdown:

How unfortunate, out of all the newbies the past 5 years, Eric was definitely one of my favorites. He seemed to have great chemistry and charisma with everyone he worked with especially his main co-OCM Jen Carfagno. I enjoyed watching him out in the field during hurricane season as well. (although he was a bit over-dramatic during Hurricane Irene, he got better in Issac and Sandy though so I pardoned him for Irene. :P)

Ah well, best of luck to him on his new Chief Met gig. He should get acquainted pretty well in Boston.

Sidenote: I guess that's why they're bringing in that new guy this Summer. (I don't remember his name, but he was discussed here)

So, at least Fisher is leaving on his own with something else in the works.  I hope all goes well for him in his new job.  :happy:

Eric's last day at TWC was this AM.  Alex Wilson was on during WUWA and AM Rush.
Jennifer Lopez was on 5pm-7pm with Paul and Crystal returned to WCL at 7pm.
Kayla is subbing on WCL later in the week.

I tuned in this past Sunday to see Eric was leaving TWC and my heart literally dropped. But alas, I'm glad he's got a great gig at Boston, and I wish nothing more than the best of luck for him. :D I know he will do extremely well :)
