I had to vote for Todd Santos.  He's competent enough, but it's just hard to listen to his voice for too long.  He sounds unhealthy.

Agreed 100%. And what's even more strange is that he was a lot more clearer when he worked at MSNBC and Weather Plus.

If it's a health issue, I hope he'll get it taken care of.  If it's not... I don't know what to say. :dunno:

I voted for:

Chris Warren: He's the worst   :thumbdown:  He needs to go back to the city I despise entirely, Seattle.

Todd Santos: Would have to agree with Eric on this one, this guy's voice sounds kinda unhealthy.

Crystal Egger: Agreeing with LOT8s, this lady IS definitely boring as hell...  :yawn:

An OCM is an OCM to me, so I really do not like or dislike any OCMs over others.
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

I would also have to say Todd. I know it's a little harsh and immature, but his eyebrows creep me out. And, yeah, his voice gets a little liquid-ish when he talks for a while, and I also find that both noticeable and irritating.

I don't necessarily despise Crystal, but I think she was definitely hired because of her looks.

On the contrary, Kim Cunningham is my clear favorite. Her voice and the way she talks is very soothing to me, and I like how she makes it feel like more of a conversation instead of a lecture. That's the vibe I get from her, but I enjoy it when she does the weather. If she's let go, I'll be very bummed.

Her personality has changed considerably from when she first became an OCM many years ago.

I don't like Kim anymore. Ever since she got remarried her personality has drastically changed. I miss her more professional style with short hair back in the late 90s/early 2000s.

I am kind a biased for Kim - she's a Buckeye.

Wow - this poll is rough.  I didn't vote, but I guess I can make a mention.

Todd Santos?  His voice is rough to take long term, but what bugged me most was his hairstyle.  It looks okay now, but after years of struggling, he has reached 2011.

Eric Fisher comes off as a bit superficial.  Other than that, he seems okay.

Crystal Egger, I would say, does not rank very high with me.  She wouldn't read town names if they were on the screen - she should at least find out how to pronounce things before going on air.  She has improved over time, though.

Chris Warren isn't so bad - but he has wavered a bit lately - too much rambling.

Mike Bettes, also a Buckeye, and he worked in Dayton before the Weather Channel - he seems like he forces himself to be outgoing on the air.  It's kind of overkill.

There is one OCM who, to me, is underrated and needs a positive honorable mention.....Danielle Banks.  I have been impressed with her - she reminds me of the veteran OCMs.  She is very personable on the air.

These remarks aren't really of any substance, though :lol:
