It seems Natalie Allen and Jorma Duran are both gone now. Their profiles are removed from the personalities page. I know they don't qualify as OCMs, but this is the appropriate spot to put this.
-
Gary did make the announcement awhile back that Jorma was going. TWC doesn't need that many reporters anyway since they've been relying more on NBC's reporters instead.
-
Once I read the title I was like "Oh man...who got cut this time". But I am kinda relieved.
Natalie Allen: Why is she there anyways? I thought she was cut along with the whole Forecast Earth Crew. I'm kinda satisfied that she is cut.
Jorma Duran: NOOOO! I knew this would happen.
For what I am REALLY hoping, is that if they are laying off reporters, I hope they don't lay off Julie Martin next time. She is awesome.
-

Doubt it. She will be an OCM soon so she should be staying.

Definetly true. :yes:
-
Where is Sharon Resultan lately?
-
Sharon is now a stay-at-home mom, I believe.
Why is everyone so shocked about Natalie's departure? He Forecast Earth was whacked earlier.
-
LOL, yeah I'm not surprised in the least by either one of these departures. One I announced, the other could have been seen coming. :biggrin:
-
Next Tetiana Anderson?
-
One could only hope :yes:
-
I think I do feel that she does need to go..... :hmm:
-
I agree. Tetiana needs to go, and I definitely think her turn is coming next. :yes:
-
Jorma's gone!?!?! I have his autograph. :(
Seriously, when will this end?
-
Jorma was a great reporter, sad to see him get the boot although I didn't care much for Natalie. I could've sworn I saw her on CNN back in 2000-2001...
-

I agree with you two. :yes:Jorma was a great reporter, sad to see him get the boot
Agreed

Okay, these layoffs are going crazy. I am well aware of the fact that we are in the midst of a recession. But itseems to me like TWC was just fine on its own before it was bought by NBC. After NBC Universal bought TWC, layoffs sspiked at TWC. I thought Jorma was okay, but not somebody worth cutting. Tetiana is okay, but not somebody worth keeping. I too think Julie is on the verge of becoming an OCM, since I have not seen her report a great distance from the ATL in a while.
-
The NBC buyout and the worsening of the recession practically went hand-in-hand, so it's hard to say what would have happened otherwise. If Landmark still owned the network, I have a feeling that layoffs still would have happened, but it might be worse now with NBC since they can incorporate their own resources into filling the gaps left behind by the people being laid off.

And honestly, I was never a fan of NBC's reporters so the future of TWC doesn't look good. Maybe if the economy improves TWC may have the money to buy itself out.

Not sure why TWC would do that. Their sale to NBC had absolutley nothing to do with the economy. :no:

You're right, it obviously didn't. There is also no single answer here. It was just a trend I noticed that layoffs drastically increased since NBC bought out TWC, but it could just be a strange coincidence.

Who is doing Forecast Earth then if Natalie and Heidi are gone? Sorry, I'm slow on the updates because I've been busy..

Nobody. It doesn't exist. :thumbsup:
-
Forecast Earth is discontinued. Almost everyone who was involved in it was laid off.

Yeah, FE was cut during the first round of cuts at TWC. :yes:

Where did you hear that? I am not surprised he got a new job, but I never heard about that.

Not long after NBC Universal bought TWC, layoffs spiked at TWC. I thought Jorma was okay, but not somebody worth cutting. Tetiana is okay, but not somebody worth keeping.

ok... what the hell.... Natalie's profile is back on the personalities page... Was it a mistake that it was removed?

I heard a video dub with Natalie's voice in it this morning, I think annoucning "Why I love Spring Week"
so I think it was an accident when they removed her page. She's still currently with TWC.
and being that Jeff is going to Ft Lauderdale sucks. I met him in person. Really outgoing and cool guy.
-
It was actually her voice for the promo where everyone worldwide is going to turn off their lights for 60 seconds or something.
-
I'm confused about Forecast Earth. :blink: It seems the show is gone but segments are still being shown. The other day I saw a segment with Natalie Allen about global warming or something like that.
And FE still has its logo on things like the "Departure From Average" maps, etc. <_<
-
Forecast Earth still exists as segments and in Name. Don't worry.

Grr. I wish it doesn't exist anymore. <_<

LOL, whose worrying? :P :rofl:

OK what the hell... Jorma's on TWC this morning reporting from the field! Maybe these two removals were mistakes... I'm really confused now :wacko:

Yeah, he's on right now. :unsure:
-
Maybe the layoffs are effective April 1st, just like the first two rounds of layoffs occured on the 1st, and they were two months apart (December, February).
-
Yeah you guys have to understand that layoffs don't take place immediately. As Mike said, they probably take effect on April 1. :yes:
-
I haven't seen Jorma in ages, but out of nowhere, he's back and doing a report today on the Colorado snow.
It makes me wonder if he's been cut back to a part-time role or something, though.

I saw that this evening. :thinking:
-
Which is fine by me that he is still there. I think that he is a great reporter. Him and Julie Martin both. Tetiana Anderson.... I can deal without
-
Confirmation that Natalie is no longer with TWC:

Eboni Deon is now with CNN as well:

and she's also pregnant.
-
Interesting. I wonder if she was pregnant while wrapping up her tenure at TWC. I imagine it's quite possible.
-
Makes sense they joined CNN, they dont have to relocate from Atlanta. IMO I think Natalie is far better anchoring then reporting on green things.
-

Agreed!
-
Also agreed!! :yes:
-
I actually really liker her as a reporter. Just I didn't approve of the crap she was doing at TWC. Glad to see Eboni Deon as well. :yes:

Wow, TWC is getting rediculous with there cuts. I don't know the new guy on the weekends or whatever. He is creepy...

I like Scott Williams, but Todd kind of creeps me out, too. He's also a little hard to understand.
-
Same. Todd is awkward.
-
Todd talks a little too fast and sputters too much. Scott is okay, though.
-
I kinda have to agree. I mean Todd is a very likeable guy, but there is a tad bit of akwardness. Scott though is amazing!!
