TWC has hired KYW meteorologist Maria LaRosa as a main anchor. The article doesn't say which show she'll be doing but she will be moving to Atlanta soon.

Now this is something I will be looking forward to. Her personality at CBS3 is great imo. I doubt we would see her on air on TWC before May imo. She's still pregnant.

I love Maria LaRose too. She deserves the position and it would be great to see her as an OCM on TWC! Although this news came out as a surprise

Seems like a good choice from what ive seen

Finally an Awesome Addition, Hopefully TWC can look up in New England for their next met
Sarah Wroblewski (http://wbztv.com/bios/sarah.wroblewski.meteorlogist.9.685345.html) & Danielle Niles (http://www.necn.com/pages/teambios) are awesome talent.
Danielle Niles, a Weymouth, Mass. native, joined NECN in Nov. 2008 as a meteorologist. She was previously employed at Weather Services International in Andover, MA, as a forecaster for private energy companies. “I am absolutely thrilled to be working in New England, forecasting with such a dedicated and talented Weather Team at a news station that is well-respected across the entire region," Niles says. “I have had a passion for the weather ever since I was a little girl, and working as a broadcast meteorologist has always been a dream of mine." Ever since she was young, Danielle has shared an enthusiasm for severe weather, blizzards, thunderstorms and hurricanes to name a few. She has even been storm chasing in the Midwest where she saw her first tornado last year. Niles is a 2006 cum laude graduate of the University of Massachusetts/Lowell where she earned her bachelor's degree in atmospheric science, and was captain of the women's varsity soccer team. She also earned a master's degree in meteorology at Florida State University and is a member of the American Meteorological Society (AMS).

Probably more likely towards the end of the year.
-
I wonder if she will be an official paid employee of TWC before she give birth.

I haven't been much of a fan of KYW 3 since Larry Kane left in late 2002. Ever since, they've gotten rid of a lot of the other anchors I enjoyed watching, which led to me switching to WPVI and later WTXF for my local news. But since when did KYW started using that casual set with the comfy chairs for their newscasts?
-
Talk Philly is a talk show at noon. That is their set.
-
Look forward to seeing her. With the exception of Chris Warren, I've felt let down by most of TWC's recent new OCMs (bland Samantha, the uh's of Todd, and the mostly radio/video OCMs Elliot and Thibodeau [to be fair about the last 2, their roles make it difficult to make a great impression]).
-
She sounds pretty decent. I can't wait to see her. :happy:
-
Too bad that they don't rehire some of the ocm's that they got rid of before.

I recorded YWT between 7 and 9:30 AM EDT yesterday morning (closed my tuner to reset it, and forgot to reopen in until WUWA). I looked through my clip of it and couldn't find her appearance.

Maria now has a TWC bio: http://www.weather.com/tv/personalities/MariaLaRosa.html (http://www.weather.com/tv/personalities/MariaLaRosa.html) :biggrin:

I'm 95% sure you will NOT see her on camera before she gives birth in May.

Mike, that was my mistake. I thought it was Maria, but I forgot about Danielle Banks at the time. :wall:

Apparently FB changed their "Pages" features. Instead of "becoming a fan" you "like" the pages. Blame it on those stupid facebookers who love to abuse the "Pages" feature by creating random pages.
I apologize for going :offtopic: .

I'm sure her starting date is printed in the contract. It's likely she'll start sometime after the birth of her baby...and she moving to Atlanta. I don't think she's hurting for money.

Congrats to Maria! She had her baby this past Monday (May 3)...
"Hi, everyone! Thank you so much for the warm wishes, thoughts and prayers. Tyler was born Monday, May 3, and came in at a whopping 10 lbs. He's healthy and sweet and scrumptious! Big brothers and big daddy are doing well, too. Again, thank you for sharing this amazing journey with me."

Wow, I didn't know that! She's really going to be a busy mom now. :P

Maria is coming back from maternity leave! According to her FB, she was going to make an appearance on Day Planner between 11 and 3 PM ET. Anyone got a chance to catch her? (I just woke up. :P)

Yep, she came on during the 11pm hour to talk about the wave heights and precip in the area of the gulf where the oil spill.
and Heather said : If anyone noticed the last time you saw maria she had a bump, she's back after giving birth to a beautiful baby boy.
Edit: she just appeared @ 1:20pm EDT
-
Wow that was quick; usually a maternity leave lasts at least three months.
-
Anyone know if Maria will be a regular on the 11am-2pm shift now that Carl Parker is off Day Planner through severe season?
-
Maria look good yesterday. Is she still considered a fill-in as she doesn't have a regular scheduled?
-
Maria moved to weekdays doing reports and forecast segments 5:30am-10am.
