I thought Jim was in Bermuda once recently for a storm. I forget which.

I believe that was during Bill.

Yep you are right!

Sharon Osborne has officially quit America's Got Talent because NBC fired her son for his multiple sclerosis. . Since they'll be showing it again next Tuesday, it'll be interesting to see Stern and Mandel handle the competition as I haven't seen any reports of a new judge replacing her yet.

Hi everyone!   In case any of you were wondering why you haven't heard from me in awhile, it's because I was on vacation in Michigan; my grandparents have a lake house on a small lake about 45 minutes northwest of Kalamazoo in southwest Michigan.  It was definitely a cool, refreshing vacation, though ironically it was 101 degrees there the day I arrived.

Nice to be back and posting again, though.  Won't be too long before I leave for Norman to start my sophomore year of college.  Where does the time go?

In response to the recent FOX O&O and AccuWeather merger, this is the new weather opener on WHBQ-TV in Memphis.

I wish more thunderstorms would happen right in my area. Both yesterday and today, I heard it about 5 or 6 times and that was it.

I never understood why affiliates say "the exclusive AccuWeather forecast." What about it is exclusive?

Will never happen in Philly unless 6ABC (WPVI) drops their years long partnership with AccuWeather, which I do not foresee happening...

It's probably the only station in the area with Accuweather.

The station I worked at used (CR)A(P)ccuweather.  I'm interning this summer and thank the good lord they got rid of that and are using Weather Central's Fusion.

My local abc station has what they call a "WeatherNow" channel on digital cable, available on all digital cable providers in the area - both Charter (channel 137) and Bright House (channel 632), and Comcast in Tuscaloosa. (Not sure the channel # on that one.)

Is it just me, or do any of you think this is just a bit creepy of Mike? 

Stephanie Abrams gets dragged off camera by Mike Bettes during "Usher" argument (hahah)

[Trevor]

No, not really. They have great charisma and it was just in fun.

I agree it was funny, but it just left a weird impression on me.

I must be a lame kid because I don't pronounce Usher's name the way Stephanie does, I pronounce it the way Maria said it.
