I don't think her last day was yesterday, as she is on WCL with Bonnie.

So Nick (and Kelly eventually) are gone with the station completely now?  I mean, I have no idea what a "contributor role" even means or entails, but it sounds like they have gone from being demoted to leaving entirely.  Obviously if they can find a better job outside of TWC, then they will definitely take it.

I'm a little mindblown that I saw Kelly Cass on TWC just a few days ago. I wasn't aware she left TWC around that time.  :blink:

It also sucks that she and Nick Walker were demoted. Both of them were a staple to TWC and without them, it's like TWC is missing something important. The only OCMs I can think of that remain there are Jim Cantore, Carl Parker, Paul Goodloe, and Vivian Brown. Wow.

She likely became one of TWC's many Freelancers.

Kelly has returned today to fill-in on the storm coverage.
https://twitter.com/kellycass/status/592428882525040641

She mentioned on her webpage when she was done subbing in Nashville it would be "more freelancing for The Weather Channel".

Kelly sure works hard (and does an outstanding job) for a company that pushed her out. She's been doing a lot of severe weather coverage lately, and I'm growing more and more convinced that she is the best "breaking news" anchor they have. She seems to process things quickly and is able to report in a very clear and understandable way, without really stumbling at all. I guess that kind of ability comes from experience, and she certainly has a lot of it.  They need to bring her back full time - she'd make a great co-anchor for Mike Bettes on evenings.

I should mention Kelly Cass has been freelancing for our local NBC affiliate WXIA throughout the holidays, I've seen her a few times on air since around Christmas.  :)

What is freelancing?

"A freelancer or freelance worker is a term commonly used for a person who is self-employed and is not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term. Freelance workers are sometimes represented by a company or a temporary agency that resells freelance labor to clients; others work independently or use professional associations or websites to get work. "Independent contractor" would be the term used in a higher register of English that designates the tax and employment class of this type of worker, the term freelancing is most common in culture and creative industries and this term specifically motions to participation therein."

Translation: It means that she's not on contract with TWC for a set period of full-time employment, and can also work at other locations of her choosing.

Kelly is back!

The Weather Channel has named her the new co-host of AMHQ Weekend. She's already in the promos for the show that they run on air. So glad that they brought her back full time.
