Cause she refused to dye her hair or something.

She wasn't fired. She left to move to local affliates. Right now we don't know where she's at currently. Some people did see her a few times on CNN and NBC WeatherPlus, though.

She is officially employed at WeatherPlus.

Yes, but he was still there at that time.

how long was Hillary on TWC?
Title: Re: Hillary Andrews
Post by: lfmusiclover on January 08, 2008, 07:49:19 PM
I think she had been there since 2003, or perhaps 2002.

Yep, she joined in 2003, just a few weeks before the September 29 relaunch.

She's still with WeatherPlus? I thought she has appeared on CNN more recently than WeatherPlus...

She's been so hard to track down since she left TWC. It seems like she makes one appearance for a particular network and then disappears again.

I seem to recall that too, Steve. I seem to remember hearing about her being on CNN after Weather Plus.

Here's a transcript from CNN on September 30, 2007:

And speaking of Florida, it won't be the ideal vacation spot this week. Let's check in with Hillary Andrews making her debut here this weekend in the NEWSROOM. Good to see you, Hillary and welcome aboard.

HILLARY ANDREWS, CNN, METEOROLOGIST: Thank you very much, Fredericka. Well, one of the reasons why we saw Discovery moving so slowly was the wind. You saw the sunshine in the picture. We have a very strong onshore wind with Cape Canaveral right over here and we're talking about 10 to 20 miles per hour winds.


And a more recent transcript from December 24, 2007:

CLANCY: Really high traffic and really serious problems. Hillary Andrews joins us now from the International Weather Center.

Hi, Hillary.

HILLARY ANDREWS, INTERNATIONAL WEATHER CENTER METEOROLOGIST: Hi there.

Maybe she's a freelancer. Just pops up wherever the wind blows her, so to speak. Her ways remind me alot of Jill Brown. She used to pop up every once in awhile on CNN or elsewhere, but never actually had a definite position anywhere.

I'm pretty sure Hillary was just training at WeatherPlus, since she only appeared one day last April. She most likely didn't get accepted, so she moved to CNN.

Post by: Localonthe8s on January 09, 2008, 10:08:48 AM
I wonder why she didnt's get accepted. :huh:

Hillary appears to be at neither channel, as her name does not appear on either channels rosters. :no:

As I said yesterday, it seems to be she might just be a freelancer, going wherever she's needed.

It would be interesting if she wound up freelancing for TWC again. I wonder what standing has with TWC.

It would especially be interesting if Dave just so happened to be on while she was freelancing for TWC. :P

No, I don't think so.

Yea, they do.  But I highly doubt that she has.. I mean, would TWC actually let her (ha.. )

Post by: Tennesseestorm on March 16, 2008, 10:04:19 PM
Alot of people on the old forums made fun of her, like the way she bobbled her head, etc, but I always liked her style.  She kept me watching the show!  I thought her and Dave Schwartz were a hoot when they were on together!  It was so funny!  I liked Lisa Moser and Dave as well too on together.

Yeah the Dave/Hillary pairing was a favorite of mine too.  :sunglasses:
