If they let these people go, I'm not going to watch TWC anymore:
 :no:
Alexandra Steele (#1)
Carl Parker
Stephanie Abrams
Paul Goodloe
Jim Cantore
...and some other people
If more OCMs are to be axed Carl will most likely be the among the next. I don't think those other four will, I think ratings for those are pretty high (especially Cantore). Same with Jeff Mielcarz.

Yeah, the ratings on Jeff are pretty high

 All of these OCMS are on my list as well. ESPECIALLY, Steph and Mike. They are my top 2.

Oh...I hope Carl won't be the next...I hope not.

They really should put Jeff back on the TV network in the studio with a good, fun partner. Weather.com alone isn't enough, though it's still nice.

Agreed. He needs to do more than just internet forecasts.
I think he'll do very well on TV.

I thought Jeff was no longer going to be at TWC. :huh: How did he move from being at TWC Road Crew to being an OCM? :dunno:

I saw one of his online forecasts the other day, I think he's pretty good, they should pull him in as an OCM to help with this shortage.

That turned out not to pan out. The Road Crew was abolished, but they let Jeff stay on as an OCM.

I would have to add Ray Stagich to the list. I don't care for him too much.  :no:

I should also state that the list I made were people who should have gone first before the real talent was axed. I watched TWC a lot today and it seems so... predictable I guess is the word. The people who helped keep it fresh and bold are mostly gone.  :no: Sad indeed

I bet that Adam Berg is greatly upset that Kristen got the boot. Those two got along quite well, you could just tell. Kristen finally seemed to be having fun since she started working with Adam.

Abernathy is classic. Oops, I mean "was".
 
:no:

Not to sound mean but can't we just trade out Samantha for ANY of the 4. I'm sure the majority would favor this.

I'd say trade Samantha with any of the OCMS that were laid off...preferably Kristina. :(
