Title: OCM Changes
Post by: TWCToday on November 21, 2010, 04:41:08 PM
OCM schedule changes have been released. Kelly Cass will be on Weather Center late edition. Nicole Mitchell has been removed from OCM scheduling.

I had intended to merge Mikes topic but apparently that didn't work  :thinking: In any case as posted by him
Jen Carfagno and Eric Fisher will be the new hosts of Weekend View

Interesting. With Jen and Eric moving to WV, I wonder who will be on FO?

Im sad for seeing Nicole off the list, but at least she has a separate career alongside being an OCM :yes:

I'm thinking FO will just be a solo show with just Scott Williams. I'm surprised it's not that way already, as ratings during the 4-6am ET timeslot are rather dismal.

Well, I knew Nicole Mitchell would be missing from the schedule. She has so many things to do.

Best of luck for Nicole.  :yes:

btw... Jen + Eric = best team evar.

That's too bad, I liked getting up with Maria and Kelly every Sunday morning.  Kelly Cass has really grown on me the past couple years.  She is very enjoyable to watch.  I wish her the best of luck with her new shift.

Is Nicole just going to be appearing on a fill-in basis?  If so, that's fine by me.  I've never really been a fan of her.  Like Zach said, Nicole's got her other job as well to keep her busy.

I find it very interesing Jen is headed to the weekends.  I would think TWC would want to keep her on the weekdays.  Weekend View is a highly rated show, so I guess it does make sense that they would put Jen there.  I think her and Eric will make a great team.

Do we know what is happening with Maria LaRosa?

She's moving to Weekend Now. Also, Carl Parker and Heather Tesch will now host Day Planner Monday-Friday instead of just Monday-Wednesday.

So will the 7-10 WC team be the same? I hope Jim Cantore isn't moved to a different show.

Ryan Goswick is just a freelance, so no. I'm pretty sure Kim is staying where she's at. She mentioned early this week she's spending a week on holiday.

Also Phil, do you know if Maria is co-hosting with someone, or if she's on her own?

She has been juggling military duty and on air work just fine until now. I think it may have been her personal decision to leave. I will miss the Nicole and Paul partnership

Allthough I am definitely out of the loop on the goings-on at TWC, I am not sure if it is entirely personal. Nicole has been giving off some vibes on her Facebook that all may not be well with her and management. Someone ask her the question a few weeks ago if she was leaving because of her passing the Bar, and she responded to the effect that 'not unless management sees otherwise'. Also there has been these little snippets on FB where she disagreed with mgmt. For instance, when responding to a comment by a person who said he preferred weather instead of programs she agreed.

Very interesting!!  Thanks for sharing. I have missed those comments.

She has been at some point disagreeing with what's happening to TWC right now, which takes me back to a question she asked a while ago (regarding program changes). Since then, I haven't looked at her Facebook page.

I haven't seen her enough to fully judge her, but I don't like how Crystal Egger does the earlier hour of WC. :no: This is obviously a popularly-watched segment, and maybe she does a fantastic job, but IMO, one of the more "experienced" OCMs should take her place. For example, bring Paul back to the earlier hour...I miss seeing him then. :(

Nicole isn't gone. This is what her Facebook post said (22 hours ago, so at about 8 PM Monday):
Watching a storm system that could impact holiday travel in some places. Paul and I will be with you at 10pm EDT!

Crystal Egger seems to have trouble pronouncing things sometimes, when she was working with Chris Warren, their banter was a bit awkward to me for some reason.

All of the banter and off subject talk they have is awkward between most of the OCMs. I think only the teams that have worked together for a while aren't.

Nicole just posted on her official Facebook. Does this mean just the program WC or TWC?

Quote
Well, a little bittersweet... Unless we preempt our special programs tomorrow for weather, tonight is my last night on Weather Center (not my choice). I'll see you in a few minutes!

This may be the last straw with me if she is booted from TWC. I thought she was one of the good guys, both in person and her professionalism.

I am very sure it's her last night on WC. Not entirely sure if it's TWC in general. Just remember she has a lot in her plate right now.

At the end of WC tonight, Nicole mentioned that it was her last night on Weather Center. Paul then went on to mention that Nicole would be around for "a little longer"  and that he would be back on Monday.

Nicole also said on her facebook page: "Well, a little bittersweet... Unless we preempt our special programs tomorrow for weather, tonight is my last night on Weather Center (not my choice). I'll see you in a few minutes!" and then after a few comments: "Thank you for all the support. For the month of December I am being switched to a fill-in role. I really can't speak to more than that other than that I am disappointed to be leaving Weather Center"

I'm really going to miss Nicole.

Very True, Just wanted to let you guys see that if you haven't. I've been anticipating her to leave The Weather Channel since she graduated from Law School. After December she  possibly could be leaving TWC.

Since Kelly has 2-3 children, will the late night shift be hindersome for her and family? I would think late morning and early afternoon shifts are best for family life.  I doubt if anyone chooses their shifts anymore as maybe then did in the good old days.

After her stint in purgatory fill-in status like Keneely, etc, I wonder what Nicole will end up doing?

Not necessarily. My mom works night shifts (5pm and later) and my family is fine. Sometimes it's a lot easier on my mom to work the night shifts,because she can be there for me during the day,even if I'm in school,in case something were to happen,and on the days I have off,we can actually get out and do something and I don't get stuck home all day every day. That happened a few summers ago,she worked during the day,all day Mon-Fri and I was constantly stuck in the house bored because I had nothing to do and couldn't go anywhere. So night shifts can sometimes be a positive thing for families.  :thumbsup:

You go here:
http://www.weather.com/interact/contactus/ocmbios.html# (http://www.weather.com/interact/contactus/ocmbios.html#)

Fill out the Assistance Request Form by entering your information. On the "Question/Comment" box, you put in your autograph request for a meteorologist of your choice. Make sure you write your name & address on the box as well. Just an fyi, give TWC time to process your request since I'm pretty sure they get a bunch everyday.

Oh, btw, you should get an email saying that they got your inquiry.
