Title: New OCM - Crystal Egger
Post by: NYwxguy on July 01, 2010, 04:07:28 PM
In it's Wednesday newsletter www.newsblues.com (http://www.newsblues.com) (subscription required) reported that Crystal Egger from KDVR in Denver has been hired as TWC's newest OCM. On the KDVR facebook page http://www.facebook.com/fox31denver (http://www.facebook.com/fox31denver) they mentioned that today (7/1) was Crystal's last day at the station so I'd imagine we'll see her on TWC fairly soon.

This is almost silly the rate at which TWC is hiring new OCMs.

This is sad for some reason...firing the old ones and replacing them with newbies.

Well, I don't think they've fired anyone else yet since the layoffs last year... unless I haven't been paying attention. :unsure:

I tell you that so.
They never hired this many people in one setting like this. :no:
CRAZY ISN'T IT?
They can replace as many OCMs as they wish. But one thing is, if they let go of my favorites I assure you that I will not be watching TWC anymore!!! And, that's a fact!!!!!

Let me rephrase that a little. The old ones are leaving and TWC is replacing them with newbies.

From videos I've seen of her, it looks like she's got some journalistic experience (live reporting, interviews), so that may have also played a role in hiring her.

Post by: beanboy89 on July 01, 2010, 06:54:33 PM
Here's how I see the whole situation. These older OCMs aren't going to be around forever. While I don't think NBC will lay anyone off anytime soon, I believe a few OCMs will retire in the next few years, so they need new talent now to learn the ropes at TWC now so they will be ready in a few years to replace the older OCMs.

Wai....WHAT?!!?!  I can't believe that. Now this is just ABSURD. I grew up watching Keneely on TWC since 1999-2000 as I can vividly remember him giving the weather reports for the Northeast US and seeing his name on the black titlebars with the old pre 2005 logo.

I won't believe that one bit until I see an article from someone that actually got the info from TWC. He did used to work for WTVT in Tampa in 1982 up until TWC's launching.

Yeah, definately something that needs official confirmation.  If it does happen, it's sad; however, I won't be surprised one bit.

I do like this new guy, Steve MacLaughlin.  His eyebrows are kind of annoying, but he seems like a good meteorologist.

Well great for her resume and maybe for future opportunities, but TWC has been going downhill steadily the past couple of years I would worry about job longevity. It's amazing how often you can turn on TWC and not hear any type of current weather for hours. Way too many historical weather shows and repeated fare so we pretty much stopped watching.

Has Crystal appeared on air yet? And if so, I know she's only a relief meteorologist, but when would be the best time to catch her?

I have watched Crystal for many years here in Denver. You will love her. Our loss is definatley your gain. Crystal has a great personality and is great at what she does.

It wouldn't surprise me, he's been getting less airtime for a while now.

It's been well over a month... When is she supposed to premiere on the network, if at all? Or was she let go without our knowledge? I was hearing that she was supposed to become Kelly's permanent co-host on Weekend View...
Title: Re: New OCM - Crystal Egger
Post by: Al on August 15, 2010, 03:35:28 PM
sometimes there are contract conflicts, pending the news station she came from, that state the person under contract will not be able to reappear on air until after X amount of days/months after leaving the news station.

I don't really see why they had to go out of their way to hire a new co-host for Kelly, they could have just made Maria her permanent co host since she's already there with her on WV.

Post by: twcfan68 on August 15, 2010, 06:02:56 PM
Aw, I was actually warming up to Kelly and Maria working together. I guess I shouldn't judge that without seeing how Crystal does, but I'm just getting pretty sick of all these changes.
Title: Re: New OCM - Crystal Egger
Post by: toxictwister00 on August 15, 2010, 06:37:28 PM
They shift OCMs around like it's musical chairs. :P There's no stability on any show either one or both co hosts are filling in for someone or their on vacation, or they are just there because they have no show to host. (Sam, Jeff, etc.) It's gonna be even worse come the time TWC does ever go into Storm Alert for a major hurricane since the pairings are usually random.

So I see she's still in the process of relocating. I also read somewhere in Google that she gave birth to a baby girl back in May. No, we still haven't seen her on the air yet. We're hoping to soon, though.

that last picture on that website is awfully similar to the one on weather.com, just with color on the outfit (it's also the same outfit)... :thinking:

the color was added on the weather.com one, you can tell thanks to the spotty gray spots near her right shoulder.

ok guys, don't be bashing on me (I've only seen Crystal a few days before) but she has GOT to be the hottest OCM I have seen on air!! I swear, I cannot get my eyes off the TV screen every time I watch her. Not sure whose idea it was to hire Crystal, but it was a wise one. I can only wonder what the male audience is thinking :bleh:

Nope, for the simple reason that it cannot be proven. Just because they happen to be young, have a fuller sized rack, and have blond hair is coincidental and all circumstantial since nobody has actually had the words "sexiness" and "attractiveness" come out of their mouths. Sadly, we may think that's the reason, but we don't know the official reasons.

Let me guess, is KDVR an NBC affliate?


Have you even seen the FB page? It clearly said FOX.

I didn't find a topic on Crystal Egger, so I will just say something here.

Crystal has definitely grown on me since her debut on The Weather Channel.  However, I don't really like her on Weather Center.  She is definitely more of a morning person as I have watched her the past couple mornings on Your Weather Today.  I find it very interesting that they are having her fill-in for Steph. 

With that said, I think Paul Goodloe and Kelly Cass should be the hosts of Weather Center Live (unless they are with the new format or whatever...haven't watched in a while).

Is Crystal pregnant again? Looks like she has a baby bump tonight... :dunno:

EDIT: Wait, if she is it might be the first on air she has been. I might be thinking about Maria LaRosa, wasn't she the one who was pregnant at the time she arrived at TWC?
