New OCM - Eric Fisher (?)
« on: July 09, 2010, 04:23:43 PM »
I'm currently seeing an OCM named Eric Fisher doing the WP on PM Edition now. Has he been at TWC? :unsure:

He's another newbie. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Warren Madden and Ryan Goswick are indeed gone as they were rumored to be. NBC is just adding new OCMs by the week at this point. Heck, maybe some other veteran OCMs will be out the door soon, as well.

According to Vivian "We would like to formally introduce our newest On Camera Meterologist, Eric Fisher. Eric will be giving us our 7 day forecast." I think he should have narrated the HD STAR, not Jim. He has a good "narrator" voice.

A blog by Eric Fisher from his website dated from June 23, 2010

Quote
Hello all-

In case you missed the big news, I have left WGGB-TV in Springfield (as well as my Freelancing gig at WFXT-TV in Boston). I received an offer I just couldn't refuse to work at The Weather Channel. This is pretty much a dream come true for me, as it was TWC that helped get me into Broadcast Meteorology in the first place! I will be starting there on July 6th, although no work schedule or first on-air date has been set as of yet. Stay tuned!

-Eric

i'm not sure if I like all these changes...

Do these new OCMs start out by just giving a segment of a program, such as the WP. :unsure: Otherwise, why would he be working at TWC if he was just giving the weekly planner?

They all start out with doing the Weekly Planner, to get used to being in front of the camera at first.

TWC is becoming less recognizable by the day anymore.   :(

On a side note, my neighbor's name is Eric Fisher.   :D

Welcome to TWC Eric.   :)

TWC (or NBC) is hiring too many new OCMs now, though. With the shortness of time before another new one is hired, it almost seems like this is all a joke. Pretty soon TWC might not have any "experienced" OCMs at all (with the exception of Jim and maybe Stephanie). :wacko:

From here...we'll definitely need a confirmation

For what TWC is doing, I see this more of "firing" the old OCMs as opposed to "laying off." To me, NBC is discriminating the old OCMs because they are "too old" for their tastes. That, my friend, is discrimination. I would file a lawsuit if they were to do that to me.

Is this definetely all of NBC's doing? :unsure: If so, I think that's ridiculous that they can "invade" TWC like this (even though they own the station). But since we all like to blame NBC for things they *may* not be responsible for, I just thought I'd ask.

well, we need someone to blame...and since NBC has proven that they're full of it, why not?  :P

Well, that sounds good enough for me, Al. :P
