Why do you guys keep listing Dennis Smith? HE IS STILL THERE.
Title: Re: Favorite Former OCM(s)
Post by: Mike M on May 29, 2008, 10:18:12 PM
Last I heard he still works there, as you said, but he doesn't work on camera anymore, hence why we are listing him.

This is for FORMER (as in GONE) OCM's. He still does appear on occassion. I don't think he qualifies as a former OCM.

Marny Stanier

Terri Smith
Jodi Saeland
Janine D'Adamo

Ooh, I forgot about Jodi Saeland and Janine D'Adamo!! Two classic OCMs from the mid-90s!

ITA about Lisa Mozer; I don't understand her mass popularity either. She's really the only OCM that was ever painful to watch most of the time...

Are you sure he is still there?
Title: Re: Favorite Former OCM(s)
Post by: lfmusiclover on June 21, 2008, 08:36:49 PM
I was told a few months ago that he was a senior meteorologist and mostly stays behind the scenes. Whether that is still the case I don't know.
Title: Re: Favorite Former OCM(s)
Post by: Mike M on June 22, 2008, 12:53:18 AM
Yeah, I'm also beginning to consider whether or not if he still works at TWC at all. Some of the other senior OCM's, like Stu Ostro, occasionally appear during special weather events, but I've never seen Dennis on air since Hurricane Wilma coverage in October 2005.

Dennis' bio is still on weather.com, but I'm not sure how much that really means these days.

It must mean something, because as recently as a couple months ago it wasn't there.

yes Mike, we do occasionally see Stu. But when was the last time you saw Keith Westerlage?
Title: Re: Favorite Former OCM(s)
Post by: Mike M on June 22, 2008, 01:00:35 AM
The bios on weather.com never seem to get removed after the OCM's leave anymore. Heck, even Rick Griffin (http://www.weather.com/aboutus/television/ocms/griffin.html)'s and Marny Stanier (http://www.weather.com/aboutus/television/ocms/stanier.html)'s bio is still on there, among some other OCM's who left as early as 2003.

Where are you guys finding these bios? I just checked, and I don't see Dennis', ricks, or Marny's.  :wacko:

Click on the links on my previous post. I just enter some of the OCMs' last names on the URL and it sends me to their profile.

I believe Keith is part of the OCM training program, which is why we probably don't see much of him anymore.

Edit: It says he is actually OCM Manager. http://www.weather.com/aboutus/television/ocms/westerlage.html

Exactly. So Dennis may be in a role like that where his duties don't include on camera time.

As for those bios Mike..they aren't actually part of the site anymore. Their only accessible through direct URL. You can't go to the site and find them in the drop down.

There was another OCM named Bruce that I really liked in the 90's, but his name just escaped me for some strange reason.  :hmm:
