OCMs & Personalities / Re: Dave Malkoff leaving TWC

I think financially, twc is barely hanging on by a thread. Someone said something to Jeff Morrow and he implied on Twitter the staff there is very light unlike years ago when they had close to 250-300 meteorologists.

This could potentially explain why the last major exit we had was Maria back in 2018. They probably can't afford to replace people like Kelly Cass (who is around the age of Vivian Brown when she was let go) or essentially anyone there that works hard and has a marketable face to the network (Mike, Stephanie, Jim, Jen, etc)

One thing that's annoying with current Twc, is how fast they run thru all their content, you can barely even see what they're talking about. I know its quicker to see stuff online weather.com but what's the use to tune into the channel that you can't see the forecasts before they're onto the next thing? Taking 1:30 to talk temps or foggy conditions or explaining something out wouldn't hurt too much.

Thanks very much for the updates. I miss Alexandra and Jennifer Lopez and Sharon Resultan. They were fabulous and really liked talking weather.

Working with Dave Schwartz (RIP) early on helped her out plus she has a great sense of humor, now. When she first started she was kinda dry. With Bettes, she's flourished. Love to see it. I just wish WU aired at night vs the middle of the day. Part of me misses Weather Center. Lol

Announcements / Convert Image To Embroidery File
« Last post by emdigitizer332 on March 14, 2023, 12:54:48 AM »
It's not that difficult to https://emdigitizer.com/convert-image-to-embroidery-files/. A wonderful approach to customise your craft and create one-of-a-kind presents for loved ones is to create embroidered motifs using your own photos. However, in order to use the image for this, you must convert it into an embroidery file. It would be ideal if you could do this for free.

Everything Else Classic TWC / Dan Chandler: 1938-2023
« Last post by WeatherSTARIII on March 10, 2023, 08:09:59 PM »
I do not know if this has already been mentioned elsewhere, but I've learned from Techknight on Twitter, as well as on Taiganet forums (were the WeatherStar 4000 Simulator is from), and on Discord, that legendary former TWC voice-over announcer, Dan Chandler (also known as Dan Huth) has passed away last month. He was 84. Prior to working as an announcer on The Weather Channel, he was also appeared on local Miami radio in the 1960s and even appeared on television shows like the Everglades! (1961-62) as well as on Flipper (1964-67) (a classic TV show that I used to enjoy when I was young back when it used to be re-runed on Nickelodeon in the early 1990s) where he played as "Warden Dennis". At first, I had no idea he was once on a couple of TV shows in the 1960s before he was an announcer on TWC, but I learned about it many years later here in the TWC fan community. He also once worked as a local morning show host on WSB-TV's Good Day Atlanta morning show in the early 1980s.


As we previously know, he also had appeared in a 1981 Chevrolet El Camino promotional dealership video as well as in a train documentary called Railroads of North America in 1994 while he was also on The Weather Channel. In addition to TWC, he also did narrations on various programs on the History Channel and HGTV as well. After when Taiganet first contacted him back in the spring of 2010, Dan Chandler was even nice enough to reach out a year later to do re-recordings of his own narration for the WeatherStar 4000 Simulator. The re-recorded narrations still sounded as beautiful as the originals from the original TWC broadcast and even to this very day, I still give Dan a lot of credit.


Without Dan Chandler, The Weather Channel would have never been iconic without a talented voice-over announcer with a beautiful voice like Dan's. My hearts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and everyone here in the TWC fan community.


I'll never forget this really nice thank you message that Dan shared back in 2012:
Quote
You know so well, when you and the team embarked on this project that there was nothing in it for you beyond the personal satisfaction of a demanding job meticulously and well-done.  To get "attaboys" is icing on the cake.


Thank you all for including me in your labor of love, and--[Bill Goodwill, simulator developer]--for sharing the incredible reactions. They go far beyond anything I could have expected.

Alex just posted on her Insta that she's hitting her 10 year anniversary with TWC this week. I'm shocked she managed to stay on the network for so long.
