No Vic, that's not him. wxforecaster is a meteorologist with NOAA.

It's snowing hard here once again. The weatherman on WBAL says we could get an inch.

No chance that'll ever happen. Cantore IS TWC. Without Cantore TWC might as well call it a day.

Certainly seems like a reasonable reason to me.

I was never particularly attached to either one, so as always I hate seeing anyone get laid off, but I won't miss them on TV, that;s for sure.

I've been laid off and know the pain of it. It's not a fun time, that's for sure. If anything, its very scary.

It's my understanding that Jorma Duran and Tetiana Anderson are also being axed.

I do agree that something along those lines WILL return. At least if FE was as popular as TWC would lead you to believe it was.

I think what's gone will stay gone. As Steve said, TWC will surely rebuild when times improve, and other things will certainly take the place of everything that was axed.

Programming and Graphics / Re: Forecast Earth cancelled, entire environmental unit laid off

Wow, I thought Forecast Earth would attract tons of viewers! Didn't expect it to be cancelled.

What ever made you think that?

We all knew this was probably going to happen once NBC bought the station.... I have a feeling that if Landmark still owned the station, there wouldn't be this major of a hit on the staff...

Also, as far as I know, I'm pretty sure Jeff Meilcarz [sic?] still has his job atleast until after the Atlanta half-marathon on Thanksgiving... That's been in the plans for months and I don't think they'd just trash it like *snaps fingers* that...

TWC cited financial problems as the reason for the layoffs, so i fully expect they would have happened, NBC or not. Lest you've forgotten, NBC isn't running TWC. TWC is still its own entity.

As for the half-marathon..well, you never know.

I don't believe it one bit. I need to see press releases for these things, and until then, I won't believe them one bit. I'm sorry. Call me old fashioned or an asshole, but I want to see some press releases.

Your not getting them. TWC isn't talking. My source is getting the info straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. If you choose not to believe that, its called denial.
