Everything Else TWC / Re: TWC Lays off Staff

There were no comments about leaving, but I have a feeling that they wouldn't be allowed to say anything given the circumstances. At least he got in one last "My Friend" as the show was coming to a close...

Programming and Graphics / Re: Forecast Earth cancelled, entire environmental unit laid off

Sadly, I have a bad feeling we'll be seeing canned episodes of Forecast Earth or some other crappy long-form programs during FE's timeslot; they couldn't even afford to be live in the studio on weekends as it was, and they certainly can't afford it with this layoffs; we might wind up seeing either more solo shifts on the weekends or even more long-form hours.

Wow, this is sad seeing Dave and Eboni here on the air together, both ready to go down together, seemingly after this very broadcast.

Dave's even joking around, too; nice to see him able to maintain a happy demeanor under such tough circumstances.

Wow, this is really sad for all those affected, and I really feel bad about Dave being let go; what a damn shame.

I have a feeling that Mark and/or Kristina might be among the four, especially Mark given his tenure.

Thing's weren't going so well on Day Planner today. First, the show starts out with Julie Martin on a liveshot having issues with her earpiece and talking about it over the opener and over Cheryl's studio intro:

Then in the next hour, TWC starts having horrible audio issues, leading to the emergency feed to be cued to finish out the segment. (yes, that audio is what was heard on TWC!)

It looks like tomorrow night will be another weekday Gang night on EE. At the end of the show, Jim said, "Paul and I will see ya back here tomorrow. Wait, actually no... *points to Paul* He's..." then he got cut off, and the show ended.

That could have either been, "He's gonna be here" or "He's not gonna be here," so it's hard to say for certain who's going to be off.

Wow, this is such a shame to see this happen, but I'm not surprised, especially considering that when I checked the TWC job openings page a few weeks ago, there were almost no positions hiring, which just goes to show how bad the economy is going.

It's a shame for all those people who lost their jobs.

Nicole automatically gets the anchor spot because of tradition/Kim not having the "status" to host the show.

Tradition, yes. But status? Really?

I think Nicole is basically considered higher up in the YWT hierarchy, so she automatically moves to Heather's spot when Heather is off. I think both of them would have to be off to give Kim a chance to host the show.
