It doesn't sound like things are getting any better at TWC.  We still have the same amount of time of "reality" programming.  That is less TV time for OCMs - any time on-camera seems to be at a premium.  Combined with revenue issues, I guess this happens.

Given what happened with The Today Show this summer, I can't be surprised. :(

Is Alex Wallice still with TWC? He's last show was 10/6 Saturday AM and he's not posted on his TWC Facebook page since.
Ray Stagich, Danielle Banks and Reynolds Wolf have been alternating doing First Outlook.

He wasn't laid off. He has a new 10-week-old baby at home and he's going to be a stay at home dad. They just gave him a "send off" goodbye on WCL tonight.
His departure was part of the cuts. He just has something to fall back on unlike Morrow unfortunately .

I am guessing he got laid off and replaced by Reynolds Wolf and other OCMs.

From Ad Week,"Since the acquisition by its new owners, TWC has lost all of its original meteorologists and has begun to use talent from the NBCU stable, including Al Roker, whose production company has played a significant role in the network's expansion into serial content."
http://www.adweek.com/news/television/layoffs-hit-weather-channel-144510

I'm not sure that is 100% true. Some of the OCM's from the 1980's are now working off camera.
Unless they were part of the 7% let go today.

Keeping track of who is still with TWC.
Maria and Eric were on this AM.
Kim was on tonight with Chris and Paul.
Danielle said on Facebook she on with Nick Wed 11am-2pm.

Thats a play on words. Its not nearly as bad if you consider the OCMs before the acquisitionvs after rather than since its founding to present.

The Personalities page has a few spaces missing.

Adam and Heather are still on there, though - somebody take a snapshot of the page....and the RADIO section, too.  There may have been radio people laid off, too.

I don't see Peter Lik on there, or Greg Postel

Wow, looks like they're really letting go some of the OCMs we all know and love  :(  :cry:  All I can say is best of luck to those who are being let go.

Nicole Mitchell on Facebook is saying Heather was let go,

They got rid off Heather Tesch?  :cry:


That's very sad. Heather was one of the good OCMs on TWC. I wish her good luck. I predict that Mike Seidel, Vivian Brown and Kim Cunningham are next to be laid off.

I was thinking the same thing when the news of Jeff Morrow was being discussed.

As we seen in the past, TWC takes a while for them to update there bios. Peter Lik's show only airs overnight and no new episodes are being produced. Greg Postel is new to TWC so it will take a while for his bio to appear.
