Bring Back Dave Schwartz Website

[bringbackschwartz]

Hi Everyone:

There is a new website dedicated to the effort to bring the legendary weathercaster Dave Schwartz back to The Weather Channel.

http://www.bringbackdaveschwartz.com

At the site you will find contact links for The Weather Channel and NBC/Universal.

If you enjoyed Dave's weathercasts, please visit and take a moment to let TWC/NBC know you would like to see him return to The Weather Channel!

I checked CBS Atlanta's website, and he's no longer with them.  Is this a recent thing?  Do we know why he left?

Wow! Awesome site! This brings back memories in middle school. It's so hard to believe that it's been a year since he got laid off. It would be a miracle tho, if he returned.

Apparently, he's not, they hired a new OCM named Cris Martinez, if you want to see him he's in this video:(5:08 in the video)

It makes me mad that they did that  , I figured they probably did let him go because I haven't seen him working weekends since that recording I got of him in July. If I had to guess, he was probably let go because he's not a certified met (has no degree for metorology). Dagmar Midcap, who took over for the former Chief Met Gene Norman who left for Houston in Jan 08' is also not certified, she's classified as a "Weather Presenter", but I think she's going to school to get a degree though, I have to check on that to be sure.

Ahh yeah I remember you mentioning that at the Dave Schwartz thread.
So basically he (could have been) let go because of no degree of meteorology...so sad indeed.

I wonder where he is now Good site

Remember that he has prostate cancer, and could be leaving work because of his illness. The same scenario happened to WPVI Sports Anchor Gary Papa who died from it earlier this year.

While it is a great website, don't count on it doing anything on getting Dave back at TWC.  TWC is going in a completely different direction from Dave, and all of the other classics.

Honestly, I am still suprised to see Bill Keneely on.
