Something in the pit of my stomach irks me saying that there's probably going to be more in a few months... I just know it... but good to know they were the only four, even if I didn't want them to go :(
I fear that programming will start to be cut soon. Not just pre-recorded shows but weather programming.
or atleast some of the live programming (thus becoming like EEWC is)

Oh please...no more!!! :cry:
four is enough...and I guess in my opinion, the late-night programming might be cut too (idk this is my opinion. Don't trust me on that one.) :hmm:

If the trend continues: next round: Vivian Brown, Jeff Morrow, Sharon Resultan

Seriously. If you have a The Front commercial to yourself as the last two do, things do not look good for you.

I'm sorry but it's true. She has got to go.

I hope these meteorologists stay

Bill Keneely (need more appearances hopefully EEWC soon and one of my top 10)

Warren Madden (from my Hometown Boston and ranked number 2 under Dave
and should just do EEWC instead of weekends)

Both warren and bill would make a great team on eewc

Alex Wallace (nice guy and needs more air time during the week)

and finally they should be hiring more meteorologists not firing them!

Well, if my Milwaukee Bucks get a funeral, we should have one for the Weather Channel:

RIP 1982-2009 TWC:  we hardly knew you before you turned a great classic channel into a ****load of fluff!

Leave it to a big corporation like NBC to come in and attempt to fix and in turn ruin something that wasn't broken in the first place.  They (the corporations) do it all the time.  They did it with my local hometown newspaper which was privately owned until it was sold to Gannett, and Viacom did it with TV Land.  I don't think we've seen the end of programming changes or OCM changes. and they won't be for the better.  R.I.P. Weather Channel.   :angry:

Oh no. :no: I like Vivian Brown; she's a good meteorologist.

Samantha Mohr is the one meteorologist, who IMO, has GOT to go. :thumbdown:

Vivian is pretty good (she and Nick made a great pair), but why is she only on an hour a day now? She used to host the 4PM hour of Weather Center.
