OCM Layoff- Bill Keneely

[Mike]

Until he was let go Bill Keneely was the last of the original OCMs and is (was) the longest on air personality to date (28 years). There are three remaining OCMs who've been @ TWC prior to 1990: Jeff Morrow (1985), Jim Cantore (1986) and Vivian Brown (1988).

The bottom line is....NBC (or ASAP Comcast) will make "needed adjustments" according to their agenda regardless of popularity or longevity! There are very few exceptions to this. NBC is money strapped because of bad decisions and litigation. New faces will be the order for TWC if they come at a bargain.

Jim and Vivian I think are somewhat safe. Not sure about Jeff. Hope TWC doesn't loose him

This is getting unnerving with all the TWC OCM depatures. All the OCMs I grew up with are gone now.

I doubt Jeff would go anywhere because he was the OCM who did Expanded local on the 8s and they put a lot of work into it, but its an opinion

So long Bill

He was looking so happy and stress-free back then knowing he wouldn't get layed-off by TWC's considering owners.

NBCU should've let him stay for at least 30 years.

NBCU should've let him stay for at least 30 years.

He at least made it to 28 years though!

That will certainly not happen, he's the center of TWC. I mean, I hope not, but you never know with NBCU these days.

[Mike M]

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

[Anistorm]

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

and neither is Stephanie Abrams.  She hasn't had a break afaik.

At this point, only Jeff Morrow, Jim Cantore and Vivian Brown are the remaining links from TWC's golden age.

After those 3 who would be next?  Mike Seidel. Who came in the 90s?

Samantha Mohr and other TWC OCM's had a party for Bill at Sam's house, as seen on her Facebook page.
