Yet another anchor swap?
« on: May 17, 2008, 08:06:43 PM »
Today, Carl and Kristina were back together again on Weekend Weather Center while Adam is working with Kristin on PME/EE. Also, it looks like Cheryl Lemke has permanently assumed Swizzle Stick's old job on weekend mornings & Mon-Wed. morning fill-in.

Quite interesting to see Carl and Kristina back together again. If this holds true, then this swap has managed to reunite two classic anchor pairings that were destroyed through previous switches; I'd say it's for the better.

Carl and Kristina are a better team, but I'd rather see Kristina on evenings. I've always thought she was an evening person, and IIRC she originally worked evenings (with Mike Seidel).

Oh, that's his new nickname, now? :P

Yet another anchor pairing reunion today as Kevin Robinson is filling for Carl and therefore is working alongside Kristina.

Now today Kevin was alongside Cheryl. I wonder if Jennifer is gone yet.

The new OCM parings are very strange; I was shocked to see Nick Walker on yesterday afternoon. Figured I'd check TWC Today to find out what the hell was going on!

Accordingly, TWC is going to need to hire atleast one or two new personalities, especially after Jennifer Lopez leaves next month. Hopefully we can get some good meterologists in there who know how to behave and not molest others.

Moreover, hopefully we can get some good (LOOKING) meteorologistas. :P :D

TWC definitely could use some more OCMs. Five OCMs (including Jennifer) have left since 2006, but only one new OCM (Samantha) had joined since that year.

I say, The Weather Channel should find us and hire us.   :shades:

......as I exclaim "Spy sapping my weather map!" every time I manage to mess up something on the map, and watch as no one gets the reference.

Plus you have to count the in house folks they moved to the television side, including Betty Davis, Kevin Robinson, etc. etc.

Those two hired to be on television. Alex Wallace would be a better example of an insider moved to TV.  Who knows if Ray Stagich will wind up going full-time TV ever, but he certainly has contributed nonetheless.
