Everything Else TWC / Re: Nicole Mitchell sues The Weather Channel

TWC issues a statement:
Quote from: The Weather Channel
The Weather Channel is committed to creating a work atmosphere free of discrimination and in compliance with The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 ("USERRA"), and its owners support that commitment. This is a commitment that we have always taken very seriously. We cannot comment on pending litigation, but as with many situations, there is more than one version of what occurred. We disagree with many of the assertions in the plaintiff's press statements and intend to vigorously defend the matter in the arbitration process.

Sounds like what just about any other defendant would say.

The only thing I'm going to address about that is that Marshall Seese wasn't forced off TWC. He retired.

Same with Sharon, she voluntarily left TWC.

I do wish Nicole the best in this matter. NBC and TWC are going to get a lot of negative press about this, so I wouldn't be surprised if they try to settle out of court. Personally, I want to see this go to trial.

I won't be surprised either. IIRC, neither side won Marny Stanier's lawsuit against TWC for age discrimination.

When does "Frail" play? I love that one, too.

Overnight

Hopefully that Chet Atkins instrumental sounding song comes on daytime again.

FYI, the Chet Atkins sounding song is actually "The Hellcasters Theme" by the Hellecasters.

I wonder if GSN is gonna honor Richard Dawson in the same way they did for Dick Clark?

Most likely. They also did a tribute to Peter Tomarken back in 2006 by airing a marathon of the original Press Your Luck.

Frail, solar sailer and winged mammal theme were also on the overnight
I haven't heard it on any other daypart.

Solar Sailer played at 7:48pm this evening.

Also Frail's time-in is significantly later this month than the previous cut used.

Bumping an old thread but... anyone here watch the Hub? They show a lot of older cartoons I used to watch on Kids WB like Batman Beyond and Men in Black. Oh, and just recently I have been OCCASIONALLY watching... *gulp* My Little Pony.
