Your Local Weather / Southside VA/Northern NC Weather

« on: December 13, 2016, 11:15:43 AM »

It appears my region is in for quite a week coming up.  Today it is cloudy and misty, but highs are in the mid 50s.  (Isn't that cozy? LOL)  Tomorrow we will break 50 before more rain arrives.  Wednesday Night the artic front blows through...leaving us with high temperatures only around freezing for both Thursday and Friday.  We may see some snow Friday evening, with that changing over to sleet, then plain rain by Saturday morning.  Sunday we will be in the 60s.  And then next week could get wintry.

I just love winter.  LOL.

OCMs & Personalities / New OCM: Orelon Sidney

She is on today's 11am-3pm Weather Center Live with Nick Walker.  So far, she seems to be doing a decent job.

Programming and Graphics / Daytime/Weather Center Live Shakeup

« on: April 06, 2016, 11:29:28 AM »

Starting this week, several changes have been made that effects the TWC weekday schedule from 9am and onwards.  From what I've seen and noticed online, it appears the new schedule is (all times eastern):

9:00am-11:00am:  Weather Center Live, with Keith Carson
11:00am-1:00pm:  Weather Center Live, with Alex Wallace
1:00pm-3:00pm:  Weather Center Live, with Dave Schwartz
3:00pm-6:00pm:  Weather Center Live, with Chris Warren & Jennifer Delgado

The Warren/Delgado block still features interviews with Crystal Egger (although taped) and Dan Leonard at that place in Massachusetts.  And of course, the poor OCMs doing the smaller, solo blocks have so much taped crap to show us that even they are useless (even though Dave yesterday did a fine job, I thought.  He is a true, fun and lively guy.)

I just hate that they broke up Alex Wilson and Dave Schwartz.  They were by far the best pair and most interesting WCL show.  Alex Wilson is now at Weather Underground and will do severe weather coverage from 6-9pm-when warrented.

OCMs & Personalities / Vivian Brown DONE at TWC

« on: September 01, 2015, 03:10:35 PM »

Hi everyone...I just caught the last 5 minutes of today's (Tuesday, September 1st) Weather Center Live (1-3pm, eastern edition)  And in the last 3 minutes Vivian Brown gave a nice little speech and said that today was her last day at The Weather Channel ... she eventually started tearing up before finishing and Mark Elliott chimed in the last two seconds before the local on the 8s about how working with her has made him a better meteorologist.     I feel so bad for Vivian and I just got done having a short cry.  I can't say I did not see this coming, I just thought there would be some advance notice.  I really hope Vivian will find some bigger and better things in the future and trust me, she will be missed. 

Gah...The Weather Channel.  *sigh.*
