Geoffrey Darby no longer at TWC?
« on: October 15, 2010, 09:56:38 AM »
For no reason I was looking at TWC's press room, and I noticed Geoffrey Darby's name is no longer listed on the executive team page. Is he no longer at TWC? :unsure:

This is the part where I see people excited. Most of y'all hated the guy. Now you're shocked?  :blink:

Anyways, I'm pretty sure there's a specific reason why he's no longer on TWC.

It looks like Brian Shield is his replacement.

It's great that he left TWC but the changes will still b there. Rock Music, layoffs, longform which were all introduced by Darby won't get the boot .. Since management is satisfied with the direction TWC is taking.

How is "EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER" a replacement for "EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF PROGRAMMING"?

Quote
Brian P. Shield is executive vice president and chief information officer of The Weather Channel, Inc., a position he has held since joining the company in 1998.

I highly doubt Geoffrey is gone.. if he is indeed no longer exec. VP of programming then he could have been promoted to something else

Oh my bad... I assumed "The Weather Channel, Inc." referred to the cable network, as I know the entire TWC company is called "The Weather Channel Companies" (which consist of TWC, weather.com, Weatherscan, and WSI).

Darby isn't the only person involved in this. There are other departments such as Human Resources and the programming directors/producers that make these changes too.

TWC tends to never remove the pages though... for the longest time they had pages of old OCMs up before they renovated the TV website early last year.

Judging from the url, I'm guessing his profile is actually a database entry. :thinking:

Martin - there is plenty of evidence. Just google or search the forums yourself.
