TWC has featured live shots from (and mentioned) KXAS many a time, so I am not at all surprised to see someone from that station coming on-board.Well I would hope they are getting live reports from NBC affiliates and not CBS or ABC affiliates since after all they are owned by NBC.I believe that when NBC took ownership, TWC discontinued any agreements with non-NBC affiliates.

I tuned into First Outlook today, only to discover the debut of a new OCM, Steve MacLaughlin. The only thing I can find about him is that he worked for KXAS in Dallas until January 2010, when he opted to not renew his contract in favor of searching for new job opportunities out east.This is a pretty surprising move considering that TWC already hired Maria LaRosa, and it's only a matter of time before she comes back from maternity leave. TWC already has too many OCMs for its shortened live programming schedule as it is, so does this mean that some veteran OCMs might be leaving soon? I guess time will tell, but I'm a little concerned.
He's no Weather Dude.

http://www.hdreps.com/talent/stephen-maclaughlin.htmlIt seems that Steve is just a freelancer for TWC according to the above site, so there's no telling how long he'll be around.
You guys sure Steve MacLaughlin is at TWC? I swear I saw him on Pittsburgh's ABC affiliate a couple of days ago (either that or it was a similar name....)
