That's likely correct. No one else at TWC has been forthcoming about it, so I don't see why they'd want their OCM's to make any mention of it.  :thumbsup:

Right. This isn't a happy-go-lucky occasion (like Marshall's retirement, for example)

Or JLo's moving to Detroit.

How many OCMs have now left TWC this year alone? :huh:

She's moved to Dallas, not Detroit.

Which other 4 OCMs have left earlier this year besides Marshall and Jennifer Lopez? (I'm talking Jan 08 - present)?

Bob Stokes, and the three that are getting laid off today (Dave Schwartz, Cheryl Lemke, and Eboni Deon).

Ah, indeed.  I thought you guys were reffering to 6-7 OCMs leaving before and excluding this latest job cut event.

You know, makes you wonder if we will see some new faces pop up anytime soon. TWC is already shorthanded and now by laying off 3 more main subsititutes they will really be desperate. I'm thinking we either see 1) new personalities hit the airwaves, 2) more solo (one-OCM) anchored shows, 3) cutting more live time into programming, or maybe even 4) a shift in schedule of main anchors for shows...

Guess we'll have to wait and see  :wacko:

I have a feeling that we might be seeing Jeff Mielcarz or Julie Martin hosting shows in the future, providing neither get laid off. Jeff has a meteorology degree, and Julie is working on getting one.

Not to be rude or offend anyone who liked it, but I thought the Road Crew was pointless and annoying, so I'm glad it was axed. :yes:

Are the three OCMs gone yet? (not that I want them to be) Maybe it would make sense for the layoffs to start at the beginning of a new month. :hmm:

The Road Crew was okay. Not my favorite segment, but I found it interesting. They seemed to love my area earlier this year - they did a lot of segments near Philly over the summer (I have one I recorded back in June).

Andy - today was their last day.

Does this guarantee that Jeff was axed, or could it just be referring to everyone else in the division being axed, with Jeff being moved into the studio as an OCM?
