More on Bob Stokes's departure?

On one of my YouTube videos:

Hilarious. I get the feeling Dave doesn't really care much for the new "futuristic" Weather Channel.

It looks like several news outlets are picking up on the story now:

Breaking news on TMZ.com

Wow. I read the Smoking Gun article, and I think I know who the "prior OCM" was. It was most likely Melissa Barrington. She left TWC "without explaination" in 2003 just before Hillary was put on-air with Bob.

TWC is screwed!

Thanks for the link!

You can definitely see on the TMZ video, where Bob would embarass her.  What a jerk

Goota love how TMZ put it:

Our forecast....he's screwed.

Barrington left to be with her family, IIRC.

Barrington left to be with her family, IIRC.

Nope.

Stephen, if you read the lawsuit closely, you'll get some insight as to the real reason why Melissa left. (Read: She complained about Bob Stokes and got forced out.)

[Concentric Eyewall]

Anyone got any other video of how Bob embarrasses Andrews (or even Barrington)?

[lfmusiclover]

The whole thing about Melissa leaving for family reasons was just a rumor. THIS is why she left.

I tried searching youtube.  I did come up of one of Melissa and Bob, but it was just them saying Travel Wise was next, and Happy Holidays.  Nothing too dramatic.

But I'd love to see some footage.

[lfmusiclover]

I'd love to see some footage just because footage of Melissa is so very rare.

[Concentric Eyewall]

I think I have some of her on the same spot in the tape as the 20th anniversary special.  If I find the tape (and I find time), I'll post it.

[CookevilleWeatherGuy]

There was ALWAYS something very odd about Bob "Twizzle Stick" Stokes.  It is really too bad..because I thought Hillary Andrews was a 1st class lady!

She deserves to win this one BIGTIME!

[lfmusiclover]

You know, I actually agree with that. He always seemed to be quite a smooth talker on the air. I can definitely picture him as the hot shot type, the type that would harass the ladies because he thinks he's hot stuff.
