OCMs & Personalities / Re: Kelley Williamson

« on: March 30, 2017, 02:12:43 AM »

Oh boy...

So, the last time I caught a livestream of severe weather coverage, I kept thinking to myself, when they were on the phone with Williamson, that I was just thinking "Can't these guys stop milking this guy to death and actually give better storm chasers the time of day"?

Well...this isn't how I wanted that to happen...

I now find my thoughts so damn terribly ironic considering how eerily close this was to finding out he was killed in a car crash.

Good riddance on Anaridis. They literally gave a non-meteorologist a full time position while letting go of the actual meteorologists during her time on the Network. That never set well with me.

Severe weather this weekend means more live coverage!

Rich and Mark are on with Forbes right now, and Mike and Liana were on yesterday.

And sure enough, there's video clips of her on Youtube from those female weather girl Youtube fan pages.

She's still very pleasant to listen to and isn't a bimbo whatsoever.

Remember when they said they would increase the live hours in 2016? That was obviously complete BS.

Everything Else TWC / So much for less longform this year

« on: December 03, 2016, 10:41:30 AM »

Didn't they say around this time last year that they would cut down on all the longform and return to broadcast programming? Well, 2016 is almost finished, and for the most part, they still end weather broadcasting at 8 PM Eastern on weekdays and 12 PM Eastern on weekends. And if you're a West Coast viewer like myself, then that means it ends at 5 PM Pacific and 9 AM Pacific.

Seems like we were completely lied to. I know some people on here were hoping for the best, but it looks like they are still slowly burning off their reality shows. Why the hell would you produce so much garbage if you were going to tell viewers that you would stop reality television programming?

She seems pretty likable based on her Weather Reel!

Her voice reminds me of Eboni Deon, but also has that pleasant presentation that Vivian Brown had.

His biceps were really nice during the Matthew aftermath coverage. That's for sure

I haven't watched a lot today but it looks like they have gone back to having OCM's in the studio. Alex Wallace and Anaridis Rodriguez are on right now

I feel like once Jim got rid of the hair, he got hotter to me. But I'm only 22 so I've only been familiar with him since 2003.

That's good to know

Yeah Michael Lowry really has been on my radar lately, especially with the Matthew coverage. It's pretty clear he works out. It's kinda obvious he's got a great butt when they show his pants from a distance.

We kinda low-key need a Youtube account where the male OCM's get some love, lol. I see way too much [insert female OCM name] also has legs types of videos. Which I only watch to get some weather coverage, considering I don't have cable right now.

True. True. And True.

His butt is nice, I wish we would get to see that more often.  LOL.  Whenever he is at his spot behind the counter in the lab, I could just watch his arms all day. 

Its a shame that if The Weather Channel ever wanted to do a "Men of TWC" calendar, only like 3 guys would be perfect in it.

Although I could see myself talking to Rich Johnson's picture every day.  LOL.

And now I guess I know why the women of TWC keep getting shorter and shorter skirts...so the men watching will get newer and better leg footage to upload.  *blinks.*

Part of the problem is that some of the best looking men that have worked for TWC, no longer work there. Eric Fisher is a good example. Gorgeous dude but was only there for 3 years. The other problem is some of them don't look as good as they have gotten older. Carl Parker and even Mike Bettes have been fading in the looks department for awhile. But if you saw them when they were younger, Carl was really good-looking and Mike looked killer with his blonde hair. You could say the same about Mike Seidel in the 90s.

At least Sam Champion is part of the team. His face is very old-looking but he still has a body at least.

As someone that was watching the coverage pretty much all the way from 8 Am to 6:30 AM, Alexandra was the only OCM in the studio for at least 12 hours until Ray Stagich and Rich Johnson came back on.

After Carl Parker left, Bryan Norcross took his spot. I had to go to an employee party for a couple hours, but I figured when I came back that Michael Lowry would have taken Bryan's spot, and that was exactly the case.

So basically, all the storm experts took shifts with Matthew, Greg Postel doing the morning shift, Carl Parker doing the late morning and afternoon, Bryan Norcross doing the early evening and Michael Lowry doing the night shift. And Greg Forbes covering any tornado warnings.

Alex mentioned that they have THIRTEEN people out in the field reporting on this.

Is this why Alexandra Steele has been the ONLY OCM in the studio that isn't a storm specialist?

THey had this mess happen with Hermine too.

Is it that hard to have an OCM or two in the studio covering this? It's Friday. Chris and Jennifer Delgado should be able to cover this right? It's after twelve, so it's generally their time in the studio. Did they just tell all the OCM's to not come today and have this coverage rely solely on field reporting and storm experts?
