My favorite meteorologist since the 7th grade (Kristina Abernathy) has been layed off!!!!!!

I concur, Kristina was my favorite. This is sad... :cry:

I couldn't find anything about this awful news. The only thing that appears on Google was Newsblues.com, but it's wanting me to "subscribe" and pay. I'll keep on going.... :google2:<---maybe??? :cry3:

It seems like they're continuing to get rid of people who don't "get the ratings" for TWC by NBC, I will miss them all :( :cry:

I can't believe they did this! There's no way they can function under the current schedule with such a lack of OCMs. My guess is that a lot of shows are going to go solo from here, and maybe more long-form is going to get added.

I was just thinking, could this second-round OCM axe be making way for WeatherPlus meteorologists to migrate onto TWC?

Not the best time for this to be my first post, since my favorite OCM Kristina Abernathy is layed off, and I'm pi :censored:... off.  What the fudge are they thinking on TWC?    :thumbdown:  BTW, why is Marshall Seese's bio still up on weather.com?

Marshall's is still up there because he was a notable OCM at The Weather Channel and he retired and would be missed. Do I know the real reason? No I do not unfortunately.
