Marny Stanier
« on: January 10, 2008, 10:00:13 PM »
I heard rumors that she left TWC due to "racist and discriminative" charges? Is this true can some1 confirm this? I like to see an article about this.

I don't think I can locate any articles about it, but yes, that's the theory. Its believed that Terry Connelly wanted her (and Rick Griffin) gone because they were too old and didn't fit his image of TWC.

I don't know. I'd say somewhere in her mid to late 40's, but I could be wrong.

Didn't I mention Rick in my reply to your opening post?  :whistling:

I beleive that Jeanetta Jones may also have suffered a similar fate.

Jeanetta's fate may be due to a different reason. Leading up to 2007, every OCM without the title "meteorologist" had been getting a degree or at least a certification to be considered a meteorologist. In fall 2006, Jeanetta and Kristin Dodd were the only two to not have the "meteorologist" title, but Kristin Dodd earned a certification by the end of the year, giving her the "meteorologist" title. I'm wondering if TWC forced all OCMs to earn a degree or certification by January 1, 2007 or lose their jobs.

I'd imagine that's a definite possibility. I know if I were running the show I'd want all my on air staff to be certified. That certainly doesn't seem to be outlandish. Although I don't know that I would've let her go. She's been there a long time. She might not have been certified, but from what you can tell as a viewer, she seemed to do the job just as well as anybody else.

Gary mentioned Terri Smith.  She got knocked off TV, but IIRC, she does TWC Radio.  If I were here, I would've been "BYE!"

When did she leave? Was it for the same reason?

I believe she left sometime in the early 00's. And yes, it was for basically the same reason.
