Apparently nobody from Toronto is allowed to use this forum.

That figures. The Weather Channel goes back to weather AFTER I move to Canada.

The Weather Network is weather 24/7

I definitely miss Mike Bettes though.

First time checking in here since I moved to Toronto. This is what I see:

I had to sneak in the back door. But seriously, banning Canadians?

I just saw something about Sam Champion living in NYC again. Did AMHQ leave Atlanta and move to New York? That might explain what prompted some of these changes.

The weather channel is preempting for weather.

Wow. I'm impressed.

And will Bettes be replaced on AMHQ?

I think it's more likely AMHQ will be replaced. It will fall apart without him anyway.

I was watching AMHQ this morning and it was great. Mike was the main host as Sam was not there. Jen Carfagno was filling in for Maria. Carl Parker was doing the tropical update segments, and Anaridis did her normal news segments. I don't hate Sam, but I just think he is kind of annoying. He tries to dominate the show too much while Mike and Maria play second fiddle. I really enjoy Mike as a main host: he is likable and laid back. I'm beginning to think that the show would be better with this team, and judging by the comments I've seen on AMHQ's Facebook and twitter pages, I'm not alone.

He should be the host. And the show should be about weather.

Sports and News reports "Non Weather Related" don't belong on The Weather Channel. That's what the Today Show and Good Morning America are on TV for.

Exactly!!!

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Mike Bettes to chase tornadoes once again

« on: May 26, 2014, 11:21:04 PM »

It seems the "Tornado Track" project has been quietly cancelled. They're usually out for most of May with daily updates via social networking sites and streaming video. They were only out for 2 days during the late April outbreak and then it stopped.

I wonder what actually happened? Mike Bettes covered tornado damage in Baxter Kansas and shortly after he made comments about how hard it is to keep witnessing disasters. Maybe after experiencing Joplin and El Reno it was too much. I can't blame him if that's the case.

But I'm also thinking about AMHQ. It's not exactly getting good ratings and if he were absent for a month they would probably lose what viewers they do have. Maybe TWC thought it would be best to keep him on the morning show.

Anyway, just my random thoughts. I was looking forward to following them again this season.
