OCMs & Personalities / Re: Re: Alexandra Steele Let Go

« on: October 06, 2010, 12:43:36 PM »

Alexandra was the best and my favorite, along with Jim Cantore, and who knows when the ax will fall on him.  I only watch TWC, other than Local on the 8s, when either of them are on, so I will miss Alexandra.  She is a class act and if she chooses to continue her career, she definitely won't have any trouble finding a job somewhere else.  I'm sure another channel would be elated to have her.  And, with her gone, that means even less time watching TWC for me.

I watched the first day it and disliked it.  Gave it a second and third chance and disliked it even more.  The entire format of the show is bad, bad, bad.  Al seems like a nice guy and does a good job on the Today Show, but I don't like him on TWC.  And, to me, Steph doesn't seem comfortable with him.  She and Mike are just natural together.  Sooooo, I will turn on TWC when I get up at 6 AM, catch the local forecast, and switch to Today on NBC or Fox News.

I will have to get used to A&B in the morning. I don't like how "in-your-face" some morning-show presenters are. Marshall and Heather are the antithesis of that.

I will say that I agree with you. I don't want to be rude, but Abrams and Bettes are just a little too active for the morning.

I totally agree with you.  They're waaaaaaay too hyper for me in the morning.  Oh, how I long for the days of Marshall and Heather.

Okay, I just went back to the main page after I posted and now it's there.  I don't know what happened because for the past two days it wasn't. Sooooo, disregard my post.

Now this is ridiculous. YWT without Marshall is one thing... YWT without Heather AND Marshall is just not YWT. And Nichole as her replacement? YUCK.

I totally agree with you.  I loved them together in the morning; a cup of coffee, my newspaper and Marshall and Heather.  It was the perfect way to start the day.  I was very disappointed when Marshall retired and now with Heather leaving, I will put TWC on just to get my local forecast and then switch to one of the network morning shows.  NBC is ruining TWC.

Stephanie was doing the national weather on the Today Show on NBC this morning and she looked good, as always.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: More layoffs - 4 OCM'S axed

« on: February 07, 2009, 10:49:30 AM »

Leave it to a big corporation like NBC to come in and attempt to fix and in turn ruin something that wasn't broken in the first place.  They (the corporations) do it all the time.  They did it with my local hometown newspaper which was privately owned until it was sold to Gannett, and Viacom did it with TV Land.  I don't think we've seen the end of programming changes or OCM changes. and they won't be for the better.  R.I.P. Weather Channel.

I would have much rather seen them get rid of Samantha Mohr and my least favorite OCM, Nick Walker.  To me, he has absolutely no personality whatsoever. He seems way too stiff, almost like a robot. I definitely don't watch when he's on with Samantha in the afternoon.

Alex looks fantastic on her first night back. It looks like she dyed her a brownish tint and doesn't appear to be wearing as much jewelry.

I noticed that also.  I kind of like the blonde better, but she still looks fantastic and it's great to see her again.

I knew Alexandra was out on maternity (someone said she might be back the week of Jan 5th) but didn't know Paul was on vacation. Thanks everyone.

Thanks.  I'm watching now (10:15 PM ET) and I see Jim Cantore and Carl Parker.  Where are Paul and Alexandra (if she's back)?

Okay. Thanks.  I frequently watch WC, and am used to tuning in on and off between 9 and 11 and seeing Paul and Alexandra, two of my favorites, on EE.  Do you know if programs like Cantore Stories are going to be shown regularly during this time, or are things going to get back to normal?

Oops. Sorry Folks.  Wrong forum.  I thought I was on the Programming forum when I posted the above.  Maybe a moderator can move it.  My apologies.
