OCMs & Personalities / Dr. Karen Kosiba - Severe Weather Expert
« on: April 30, 2014, 04:30:00 PM »
I can't find any articles or anything about her joining TWC, but I just caught a segment with her at the Expert Desk at :20 past this hour, and Twitter indicates that she was on yesterday, as well.

Googling her name turns up a bunch of results about her being a field researcher involved in chasing tornadoes. Does anybody know if this is just a guest appearance on TWC, or has she given up doing field research in favor of having a permanent role at TWC's Expert Desk?

I tuned into TWC for the first time in a while and caught them announcing this during the Tropical Update. He starts tomorrow morning (August 5th).

Check out Comcast SportsNet Chicago's morning design. Is the studio shot even 4:3? (Side note: doesn't the weather icon look WS 4000-esque?)

OCMs & Personalities / New OCM: Steve MacLaughlin
« on: June 17, 2010, 04:12:13 AM »
I tuned into First Outlook today, only to discover the debut of a new OCM, Steve MacLaughlin. The only thing I can find about him is that he worked for KXAS in Dallas until January 2010, when he opted to not renew his contract in favor of searching for new job opportunities out east.

This is a pretty surprising move considering that TWC already hired Maria LaRosa, and it's only a matter of time before she comes back from maternity leave. TWC already has too many OCMs for its shortened live programming schedule as it is, so does this mean that some veteran OCMs might be leaving soon? I guess time will tell, but I'm a little concerned.

This is going to be tonight at 8 ET, of course.

I think it's safe to say TWC is completely a news network at this point, but we already knew that.

Programming and Graphics / Cutting back on weekend schedule even more?
« on: April 03, 2010, 01:53:35 PM »
For the heck of it, I looked at the TWC schedule for today and tomorrow, and it turns out that it's all long-form except for one hour of PM Edition at 6 PM ET and one hour of PM Edition at 11 PM ET. What happened?

Programming and Graphics / TWC going all long-form Thanksgiving night
« on: November 13, 2009, 10:54:48 PM »
A lot of you might remember last year's plans to show nothing but long-form on Christmas Day; well, as it turns out, TWC will be implementing half of that plan this Thanksgiving. According to the Zap2It guide, TWC will be airing nothing but Tornado Road from 7PM ET to 4 AM ET on Thanksgiving night.

To go along with this, the 7PM WC on Black Friday will be replaced by a repeat of Future Earth, followed by the March of the Penguins movie.

We knew it was coming soon, and now he has finally died tonight. Rest in peace, Walter.

OCMs & Personalities / Danielle Banks
« on: July 04, 2009, 02:54:44 PM »
Today, Danielle Banks from the TWC Radio Network is doing the weather.com morning forecasts. She doesn't have a bio on the Radio site, but a Google search indicates that she's been with them since at least 2004.

It seems having TWC Radio Network meteorologists doing the weather.com forecasts is now an everyday thing.

It airs this Sunday at 8 PM ET in place of Storm Stories with a ton of reruns to follow:

OCMs & Personalities / Weather Center with Jim, Alexandra, and Kevin
« on: June 11, 2009, 08:32:56 AM »
As I kind of suspected, since Jim is out of the studio so often, the new WC with Alexandra and Jim would need a third host to keep some regularity in the show so they don't have fill-ins all the time. Sure enough, Kevin Robinson announced on Twitter today that he is going to be that third host.

Just came across this today: an ETF with about 40 seconds of the EE 2001 music playing.

OCMs & Personalities / Ray Stagich

It's almost as if he's trying to turn into the next Dave Schwartz or something; he's really starting to come into his own. :P
