I thought the meltdown and the vocal music were actually fun events. :P

Just heard from my source. Says he's been busy and hasn't talked to anyone at TWC lately. He also says that his usual sources, Cantore and Seidel, have been out in the field for nearly two weeks straight and are dog tired, and as such he hasn't been able to talk to them either. But he says he's going to try to get word from someone about the situation and will let me know when he knows something. Likewise I'll let you all know when I hear from him.

Poor Cantore and Seidel...
They need a big rest after that huge storm.  :hmm:

That's fine. I'll wait. :cry:

I think they're making a mistake firing them. They were good.

I would have much rather seen them get rid of Samantha Mohr and my least favorite OCM, Nick Walker.  To me, he has absolutely no personality whatsoever. He seems way too stiff, almost like a robot. I definitely don't watch when he's on with Samantha in the afternoon.

Well I did too and I wish they kept doing the vocal music but many people find it "distracting" and complained is my point (like what they will do when they find out they have their fav ocm's)

Wait, how are you certain NBC is the blame? I thought it was the economy.

Why not axe some of the people who actually....suck?

I wouldn't mind seeing Betty Davis and that Samantha dude go down the drain.....

I'd say probably both. Also, the reason why the older OCM's are being laid off is probably because they have been paid higher wages than the ones who have joined in more recent years, therefore TWC/NBC would save more money.

I just got confirmation of this from my source. He spoke to Mike Seidel who confirmed that all four have in fact been terminated. The good news is that those 4 are the only to be laid off this time around.

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.
