New OCM - Crystal Egger
« on: July 01, 2010, 04:07:28 PM »
In it's Wednesday newsletter www.newsblues.com (subscription required) reported that Crystal Egger from KDVR in Denver has been hired as TWC's newest OCM. On the KDVR facebook page http://www.facebook.com/fox31denver they mentioned that today (7/1) was Crystal's last day at the station so I'd imagine we'll see her on TWC fairly soon.

This is almost silly the rate at which TWC is hiring new OCMs.

This is sad for some reason...firing the old ones and replacing them with newbies.

Well, I don't think they've fired anyone else yet since the layoffs last year... unless I haven't been paying attention. :unsure:

I tell you that so.
They never hired this many people in one setting like this. :no:
CRAZY ISN'T IT?
They can replace as many OCMs as they wish. But one thing is, if they let go of my favorites I assure you that I will not be watching TWC anymore!!! And, that's a fact!!!!!

Let me rephrase that a little. The old ones are leaving and TWC is replacing them with newbies.

I really don't mind the new ones and everything, but I know some new ones that are tremendously boring and do need to go. :yes:

From videos I've seen of her, it looks like she's got some journalistic experience (live reporting, interviews), so that may have also played a role in hiring her.

Here's how I see the whole situation. These older OCMs aren't going to be around forever. While I don't think NBC will lay anyone off anytime soon, I believe a few OCMs will retire in the next few years, so they need new talent now to learn the ropes at TWC now so they will be ready in a few years to replace the older OCMs.

Well, they just fired Keneely this week, so no one there seems safe!

Wai....WHAT?!!?!  I can't believe that. Now this is just ABSURD. I grew up watching Keneely on TWC since 1999-2000 as I can vividly remember him giving the weather reports for the Northeast US and seeing his name on the black titlebars with the old pre 2005 logo.

I won't believe that one bit until I see an article from someone that actually got the info from TWC. He did used to work for WTVT in Tampa in 1982 up until TWC's launching.
