Does anyone know if Chris Hoitsma is still with TWC? I am looking at TWC's press site and his contact information, which was at one time there, no longer is. I'm wondering if maybe he got canned too. :thinking:
-
It's been gone for a while now, and I thought the same thing. However, to my knowledge, he's still there.
-
Hmmm..very strange. :thinking:
-
His position is much more defined rather than all of the 'fluff' positions that were canned over the past week. I bet he was receiving too many emails from the general public and thats why TWC took his name off of the press website. Who knows.
-
OMG I hope he's not gone. I recently emailed TWC for Dave Schwartz's autograph and for the Dec 08 playlist. He usually replies by now but I haven't gotten any replies from him yet :(

Then he's gone. He's usually pretty timely. If you haven't heard form him AND his name is gone from the contacts page, I feel I can safely assume he got the axe too. So who do we go to now? Connie Malko? :thinking:
-
That sucks, Hoitsma was always on time and professional. Would Malko respond to our messages now?
-
I don't know if she would or not, but I guess we'd have no choice but to at least try. I don't know of anyone else we could try. :no:
-
Well someone should then. TWC hopefully will add the December list in December but they will mix up the song titles and artists.

I wouldn't be so sure just yet - I've sent him countless emails over the years, and yet I've only received probably a handful of replies.

And his name's been on the contact list over the years too. :D

However it's been off there for some time already, as previously mentioned.
-
The last time he replied to me was on 10/31. Was his name off during that time?
-
I'll tell you what. I'm going to e-mail one of the other contacts and tell them that I've tried contacting Chris without luck and noticed that his name was gone, and wonder if hes still there. :yes:
-
You do that. Hopefully one of 'em will contact you back.
-

Yes. It's been off for several months, IIRC.
-
Well that's a relief I guess. Still, I'm not sure why he hasn't replied to any of my messages though. He usually replies within 3 days

What's a relief? That Tyler thinks Chris is still there? Why do his thoughts have more merit than mine? :rolleyes:
-
Ok, just spoke to Patrick, my TWC insider, and he tells me that he was good friends with Chris and is trying desperately to find out his fate. But he says that when asked no one will give him a straight answer.
I'm now more convinced than ever that Chris has been released. You and I both know that when you can't get a straight answer, its because the answer usually isn't one they want to share.

Any why should yours have more merit than mine do? :dunno:

Yep I'm backing mine up with tangible information, you aren't.
Chris is gone. They won't talk, so it's true. Nuff said.

Whatever. :wacko:
All I said was his name has been gone for months now (actually, since press.weather.com got a makeover, IIRC), but he was still working there at the time, therefore, its possible he is still there.

I thought it was possible until Patrick told me the fine folks there at TWC won't talk about it. I'm smart enough to realize that if they won't talk, the news probably is not good.
-
Make sense Chris is gone. It's been a week, and he hasn't replied. Guess that's an abrupt end.

From Billy:
I can confirm Chris Hoitsma is no longer at The Weather Channel. I sent an email to him asking about the December playlist, and got this auto-response:

Matt, tell me, when was the last time TWC actually put up a playlist THE DAY IT STARTED? :thumbsup:
-
Belt tightening = people actually doing their jobs.
Could also be because of their revamped music site.
-
This is strange, I just got an email coming from Chris:
We are now posting the local forecast playlist on our site. You can see it at [url=http://www.weather.com/tv/music]www.weather.com/tv/music[/url] ([url]http://www.weather.com/tv/music[/url]).
Thanks for watching.
Though, I have a feeling that it may not be him, just someone replying to all his unread messages sitting on the server.
