What's with the Jason? BTW, Stephen said you can start the hangman game in TWCC.

Do we really need to bring up things at TWC Classics, here?

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Cheryl Lemke

I don't think Adam is that bad. He seems to be a pretty knowledgeable OCM, though I think he should remain on the weekend shift for a while more until he gets some more time under his belt at TWC.

Adam's actually been at TWC since 1999 as a forecaster. Sometime in 03 or 04 he started the OCM apprentice program and did Overnight Outlook for a while.

Is TWC out for anyone else? I'm seeing just a black screen, no audio, and the LDL. It's been like this for at least five minutes now.

Edit: Just came back in with a satellite LF. But everything is really jumpy and pixelated.

I can see TWC fine.

I'd prefer that they put her in a daytime slot. Cheryl is one of my favorites and I'd love to see more of her. IMO, they ought to put someone like Ryan Goswick on at EEWC and give Cheryl a time slot during the day.

I think what they should do is on EEWC, have Adam Berg from regular PME Weekend/EE to host it, similar to the setup on EEWC on weekends before the 06 schedule change - except then there were 2 OCMs hosting (Sharon and Mike Bettes). If Betty Davis wasn't pregnant I would say to have her on EEWC weekend (with Adam)

Well that would certainly explain why many of us haven't seen her. What an awful time to put her in.  >

I agree. And, she really only works one hour, even though there are 2 hours of EEWC on weekends, the 2nd (last) hour is pre-recorded. If they just got rid of the special programming crap on weekend nights, and put a partner on with Cheryl, or at least move Cheryl to a daytime slot, it would be much better.

Yes. Remember the screenname OLD OCM? We don't know his identity, just that he's a former TWC OCM. And then there was the one that contributed a bunch of audio and video clips.

Ah, now I remember him. Actually, now that I think about it, I believe Bruce Edwards was also a member, too.

I don't get it. I was being serious. I hada feeling that someone might (reasonably) ask that question. I was simply letting people know that I didn't think that was the case.

Yes, but the chances of an OCM joining a fan site is like 0.000000000001% AKA highly unlikely. I wouldn't think anyone would think that that person was Dave Schwartz. But that's just me.

How is it a joke if I can't figure it out? 

I was making fun of your post.
