Title: New OCM - Todd Santos
Post by: NYwxguy on April 29, 2009, 07:49:40 AM
This morning on weather.com there's a new OCM named Todd Santos doing the forecasts. I believe he's a former weather plus meteorologist.

So lets get this straight.... Fire some of the best OCMs who have been at TWC for many years... And hire someone like this.  :club: Why must you shoot yourself in the foot TWC!!!

And Al coming to TWC and do a new show this summer. I'm starting to hate NBC for doing this.

Probably just online, he doesn't have a bio up on the site.

He creeps me out.

(Think:  freakier Dave Schwartz.)

Post by: Anistorm on April 30, 2009, 11:06:25 AM
IMO...he's....okay.  :yes:
He's doing okay, he's got that professional tweak that Sam Mohr doesn't have. :noexpression:

Anyone else thinks he's wearing a toupee?

I have to agree with Martin, they should have just kept the long-time OCM's.

he seems like a legit (meteorologist), and friendly guy. i don't mind watching him, they could use all the help they can get at this point.

Its not that I dont like the guy... just  I don't like the fact TWC is hiring replacing OCMs after they did their big OCM layoffs.

That's generally how layoffs work... they fire the ones getting higher pay so they can hire new ones for lower pay.

Todd's not new to me, since I watched him on Early Today. Glad to see him resurfaced, he's good.
Title: Re: New OCM - Todd Santos
Post by: skaloveexx33 on May 01, 2009, 03:06:09 PM
i didn't see him this morning..the only thing i'm worried about is them getting rid of all the good OCMs that are still there

I agreed, he's an OK OCM. :yes: Way better than that stupid Sam More (who is my all time Least favorite OCM). Ratings: 8/10-OK

I have to agree, he isn't that bad of an OCM.  Very friendly and likeable. :D

Me too, I wonder about that. (What a boring life I live)
Title: Re: New OCM - Todd Santos
Post by: twcfan68 on May 02, 2009, 10:33:03 PM
My only hypothesis why they're firing all the long-time OCMs is because they're probably making more money than the newer OCMs. Well, at least there's a new face on TWC. I feel like I see every OCM almost every day now, so I guess they're looking for new ones to hire for a lower salary. Anyway, that's my theory.

Hadn't thought of this until now, but Todd is Sharon Resultan's replacement. Since Sharon was not laid off, and left by herself, they ultimately needed someone to replace her.

Get to drag this futher:

Todd Santos-> Sharon's replacement
Mike Bettes -> Vortex2 "correspondent"
Adam Berg -> MB's replacement (https://twctodayforums.com/forums/index.php/topic,1738.msg93927.html#msg93927)
Todd Santos -> Adam's replacement on weekends

See...it all makes sense!

Yah, I don't care much for Todd either. His facial expression makes it look like he's uncomfortable in front of the camera. Talks too fast too.
