Programming and Graphics / Re: New Morning Show: "AMHQ with Sam Champion"

« on: December 11, 2014, 09:00:33 PM »

If TWC is going to be "personality-driven", the only "stars" I want to see on the morning weather are the grunts like Cantore who have paid their dues on the front lines, not some new happy face full of teeth and very large shoes 
The new set is suitably glam and glitzy and full of techy stuff, though the "out front" graphics on the floor are rubbish.

With respect, Roker should be put out to pasture. And Abrams can mud-wrestle with Steele for the queen's crown; not sure who I'd put my money on, though.

I'm starting a pool here on when Wolf Blitzer will have his own slot ... yeah, "Wolf's Weather" is a bit too predictable as a title.

That said, Kelly Cass is still my favorite

I'm writing this at a time when I am calm, not cussing TWC for running some "Redneck Reality" show when I'm trying to see the radar to know if MORE hail and strong winds are headed this way. And yes, I am a Redneck by heritage.

This has probably been hashed over before, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents. 

"Truth in advertising" does not appear to apply here - what we have is "The Weathertainment Channel".
We seem to be allowed to get the wider weather view at THEIR convenience, not ours. Never mind that there's a severe storm crawl along the bottom of the screen, we're supposed to watch some guys who lost their razors in the 1980s, and still can't find their way out of the mountains. I'm trying to decide whether or not to bring in the outdoor furniture, and they're looking for fool's gold. Oh well

Is the weather company saving money on salaries perhaps, by feeding us canned programs instead of live talent? I often wonder

Color me not impressed.

so she settled her lawsuit with TWC, or did she ever file one as reported in 2011?

Can TWC handle 2 OC "queens" (Steele and Abrams)?  Cantore is the big dog, fortunately, and has earned his status.

Me? I'm a Kelly Cass fan
