Is she still on TWC? I have not seen her in a few weeks.  :dunno:

Yes. I dunno if she's on vacation though. SpringRubber and Martin can officially answer this >_>

Hopefully Sam can get a permanent OCM position soon. She hasn't had one since weekend programming during the PM hours became 99% longform back in April. <_<

She's still not my favorite, but I'll take her over Todd Santos any day of the week. Also she's filling in for Nicole tonight on WC.

Niether am I  :hmm:.  I think she is one of those people you either like her or you don't.  There is no in between :P.

She is on Weather Center with Paul Goodloe tonight.

Title: Re: Samantha Mohr
Post by: bergone on August 23, 2010, 04:44:35 PM
Nah she might be. A lot of the old ocms like Warren Madden and that Mancuso dude (now at accueather) have been freelances like around 2005 before they left. Perhaps Sam will be leaving soon as well? Or is she on at late night?

Samantha does a lot more than you'd think. She's a fill-in, much like Mike Seidel is; whenever someone has off on PM Edition or Weather Center, Samantha, Adam Berg, or Kim Cunningham are on call as the likely fill-ins. Also, Samantha does regular segments from TWC's "Digital Media Center" highlighting weather events that are covered on weather.com.

Yah I saw her on WC last week or so. I think. Meh.
Title: Re: Samantha Mohr
Post by: IceManNYR on December 13, 2011, 07:32:41 PM
It appears Samantha is now gone from TWC as she is freelancing in the Atlanta area.
Before leaving she had been reduced to only doing the weather.com forecasts.

From her FB page,
Samantha Mohr
Brrrr...Feels like 20s across parts of the ATL this morning! Layer on the fleece and grab your scarf and enjoy the cool crisp Sunday! Changes are coming too I will have more on possible ZR in North Ga for Monday on 11 Alive at 9:48AM...See you then!

Well, Samantha Mohr was not my favorite meteorologist, but it is sad to see that they let another one go. :(
Title: Re: Samantha Mohr

She probably left on her own terms.
Title: Re: Samantha Mohr

She probably left on her own terms.

I agree, the setup to her departure doesn't appear to be the same as it was for the others that have been let go by the network. I don't know if she had to take any pay cut or anything, but I wouldn't take having to have your duties focused mainly on forecasting on weather.com videos being a promotion of any sort, if anything I would take that as being a demotion. It seems like one of those situations where if you don't leave on your own terms, then you'll have to leave on the network's terms sooner than later.
Title: Re: Samantha Mohr
Post by: wxmediafan on December 14, 2011, 10:44:48 AM
I wouldn't be surprised if she left on her own terms either.  I mean, she started at The Weather Channel on Weekend View if I remember correctly.  That did not last that long at all.

Wasn't a huge fan of her, but I hope she finds some steady work quick!
Title: Re: Samantha Mohr
Post by: TampaMillTWC88 on December 14, 2011, 11:03:31 AM
Good to see that Samantha is getting some work, hopefully she will get a long-term gig.
Title: Re: Samantha Mohr
Post by: TWCToday on December 14, 2011, 11:06:51 AM
I wasn't allowed to say anything but suppose its ok now. According to JimC she was let go. He told me this in person back in October so I am assuming she stayed to finish out her contract. Right now according to her personal facebook she is "freelancing"

Wishing her all the best out there!
Title: Re: Samantha Mohr
Post by: WeatherWitness on December 14, 2011, 12:11:42 PM
How long was Samantha Mohr at TWC?  For some reason, I don't think it was that long, certainly not as long as some of the veteran meteorologists who were laid off.  And, although we have now received official confirmation from Martin, I would almost want to leave myself if I was demoted from being on Weekend View, to being a freelancer at TWC, to only doing weather.com forecasts.  But maybe this was all just the "phase" TWC sent her through of being laid off.

Best of luck, Samantha! :D

I think around the same time I joined this forum which was back in September 2007.
Title: Re: Samantha Mohr
Post by: Mike M on December 14, 2011, 05:16:13 PM
At the end of August 2007. Her first appearance was on Day Planner doing the weekly planner (as other newbies did when they first joined TWC back then). She got her first permanent spot when she replaced Kelly Cass on Weekend View in late September, and then to PM Edition the following Spring. Sad HR treated her like trash after that. :(
Title: Re: Samantha Mohr
Post by: WeatherWitness on December 14, 2011, 06:55:59 PM
Obviously the specific reason for her layoff is private and none of my business, but if it was, for any reason, the lack of personality or being too dull, then they need to get rid of Crystal Egger pronto. <_<

Yeah, I've already mentioned her, and Tavores added Chris Warren.  I know we're deviating from talk about Samantha Mohr here, and I apologize, but I'm frustrated that all these newbies don't even bother with how they present themselves. <_<  Such apathetic attitude that I receive from some of them really makes we want to tune-out of the channel.

HAY don't be talkin' bad about mah future hubby.  :club:

It's sad that she was let go, but honestly.. I'm kinda happy. I despised her personality, and she was really boring to deal with.

Though I'm glad to see that Martin is taking this so well. I was expecting him to like... cry or something. lol

Just an update, I'm watching local severe weather coverage and apparently Sam is still freelancing for WXIA-TV here. She'll be doing field reporting on the tornado warned storm moving into Polk Co. according to what Chief Met Mike Francis said.

Here's that video of that report she did. It was on the EF3 tornado damage from Felton, GA in Haralson Co.

Good thing there were storms around today which is the only reason I thought to turn onto that channel. I didn't know she was on this morning. I don't know if you noticed, but that forecast was from 7:30 this morning, you would think they wouldn't go nearly 11 hours before updating it again. I wonder if she'll be on tomorrow morning, she wasn't on tonight, the regular weekend met Chris Holcomb was on. :hmm:

They don't play any music period or audio for that matter when they show the local radar loop, it's dead silent until they reloop all that Accuweather/Local Weather Forecast stuff back over 15 minutes or so later. I wish they would play some kind music on there because it seems really awkward to be mute like that, but then again maybe 12 years of hearing music during a LF on TWC has made me way too accustomed to expecting it on other channels. :P
