Why do you guys keep listing Dennis Smith? HE IS STILL THERE.
Are you sure he is still there?

I was told a few months ago that he was a senior meteorologist and mostly stays behind the scenes. Whether that is still the case I don't know.

Yeah, I'm also beginning to consider whether or not if he still works at TWC at all. Some of the other senior OCM's, like Stu Ostro, occasionally appear during special weather events, but I've never seen Dennis on air since Hurricane Wilma coverage in October 2005.

Dennis' bio is still on weather.com, but I'm not sure how much that really means these days.

It must mean something, because as recently as a couple months ago it wasn't there.

yes Mike, we do occasionally see Stu. But when was the last time you saw Keith Westerlage?

The bios on weather.com never seem to get removed after the OCM's leave anymore. Heck, even Rick Griffin's and Marny Stanier's bio is still on there, among some other OCM's who left as early as 2003.

Where are you guys finding these bios? I just checked, and I don't see Dennis', ricks, or Marny's.  :wacko:

Click on the links on my previous post. I just enter some of the OCMs' last names on the URL and it sends me to their profile.

I believe Keith is part of the OCM training program, which is why we probably don't see much of him anymore.

Edit: It says he is actually OCM Manager. http://www.weather.com/aboutus/television/ocms/westerlage.html
