Programming and Graphics / Re: Morning & Dayside revamp

« on: October 23, 2012, 07:37:22 PM »

With this news, I believe TWC will relaunch later this year or early next year. I could see New Graphics with the new shows and some OCMs moving shifts.

Looks like First Outlook will be no more but really "On the Radar" at 5AM before WUWA? that show title does not makes sense for early mornings. And I don't like "Morning Rush", I prefer YWT. TWC's morning programs just relaunched in April and they're relaunching again? Let's hope that if TWC relaunches it's morning programs, Mike and Stephanie will still hosts.

But I am glad to see that TWC learned there lesson about Long-Form. Probably, they are scaling back Long-Form either because of low ratings (likely the case) or lack of money to produce the Long-Form Programs.

Someone should rename this thread or move it to a new thread with a different name. It should be "2012 TWC Layoffs". Can someone do that?

The Personalities page has a few spaces missing.

Adam and Heather are still on there, though - somebody take a snapshot of the page....and the RADIO section, too.  There may have been radio people laid off, too.

I don't see Peter Lik on there, or Greg Postel

As we seen in the past, TWC takes a while for them to update there bios. Peter Lik's show only airs overnight and no new episodes are being produced. Greg Postel is new to TWC so it will take a while for his bio to appear.

Nicole Mitchell on Facebook is saying Heather was let go,

They got rid off Heather Tesch? 

That's very sad. Heather was one of the good OCMs on TWC. I wish her good luck. I predict that Mike Seidel, Vivian Brown and Kim Cunningham are next to be laid off.

Is Alex Wallice still with TWC? He's last show was 10/6 Saturday AM and he's not posted on his TWC Facebook page since.
Ray Stagich, Danielle Banks and Reynolds Wolf have been alternating doing First Outlook.

I am guessing he got laid off and replaced by Reynolds Wolf and other OCMs.

He wasn't laid off. He has a new 10-week-old baby at home and he's going to be a stay at home dad. They just gave him a "send off" goodbye on WCL tonight.

No, he was laid off according to TVNewser:

And also according to TVNewser, TWC is laying off several OCMs and I assume Adam and Jeff were part of the layoffs

One of my favorite OCMs is leaving TWC. Very sad and I was surprised that he is leaving. I am guessing that 1AM WCL will be a Solo OCM show now. I wish him good luck of finding a new job. We will miss you.

Now who's next to be let go? They just hired 2 OCMs (Dave Malkoff and Reynolds Wolf) so I am guessing that either Julie Martin, Alex Wallace or Todd Santos is next.

It sounds like TWC's had another layoff similar to the ones in 2008 and 2009. This TVNewser article mentions that other OCM's will be leaving TWC as well.

That's not good. Looks like NBC is going to layoff our favorite OCMs again. I hope that Jim Cantore does not get laid-off. I am thinking that Todd Santos, Bryan Norcross or Julie Martin could be laid-off. That's my speculation.
