They won't lay him off.. heck, NBC won't even give him a break!

and neither is Stephanie Abrams.  :no: She hasn't had a break afaik.
Tell me about it.  She is always live somewhere, filling in for Al on TODAY, or taping shows.  She seems like a gal who likes what she does, though.

Yea she has a ton of energy it seems. She has the personality that seems to be always on the go!

Cantore, Abrams, Bettes, and Roker are probably signed for life with that channel, the rest are probably going to be shown the door before long. Hate to say it, but I bet Viv Brown is the next one to hit the deck.
I too am worried about her! :(

i could give you a few reasons why she can't be touched.. although i rather not specify.. :)

Well, if you were going to go there, they let Eboni Deon go

They'll keep Vivian Brown to keep a certain quota, or as a token. Vivian is the only female that *ahem" looks a certain way. I can talk since I share the same complexion with her.  ;)

I disagree, they can easily fire her and replace her with a younger, beautiful black woman if they wanted to.

They could do that too to, again, to keep a quota. But besides that, Vivian is one of the last remaining from TWC's "golden era", along with Jim Cantore.  I hope they continue to keep Vivian, as long as they keep Jim.

Please don't be race into this. NBC isn't going to keep Vivian just because she is black and to fill some "quota." Bring race into it again and warnings will be issued. Grow up people.

Haha, I hear you.  :blushing: This probably wasn't the time or the place for it. :P It is demeaning to talk about Vivian in that manner.

Agreed.  It's 2011, people.

Vivian is a fantastic meteorologist, and very professional.  I am a big fan of watching her and Nick together on Day Planner.

It says on his FB that he stills works for TWC, though that has likely changed.
