Here is a topic for us to discuss all of the changes going on with Your Weather Today as Marshall prepares to retire within the next month or so.
Today, Friday, October 10th, Nicole Mitchell is filling in for Marshall with Kelly Cass doing Travel. This comes after Bill Keneely has hosted the past two days and Wednesday-Friday of last week. Kevin Robinson has hosted the show Monday and Tuesday of both this week and last.
If Bill is off today, I can understand the sudden shift in the anchors for today, but if he's on Day Planner, then I'll start suspecting Nicole as an anchor candidate and be further led to believe that this is all some big tryout. I guess we'll find out soon enough; I'll be recording Day Planner while I sleep. :P
I wonder if Marshall will finally begin his run to the finish next week...
-
I don't exactly know who I'd want to replace Marshall. I definitely don't want a double (triple?) female YWT team. I wouldn't mind at all seeing Kevin Robinson take Marshal's spot, but I kind of like the team he has w/ Kim Perez. Bill Keneely, in my opinion, would be a GREAT replacement for Marshall, but I also kind of like him and Kelly together, and obviously the Weekend View viewers, and TWC boss' agree with the viewers on that one, hence why they probably brought Kelly back to WV.
Carl Parker is someone I'd also like to see. Someone brought him up back when news first broke, and I wouldn't mind at all seeing him, either. It'd make sense to have him, since he doesn't really have a spot :thumbsup:
-
I personally wouldn't mind seeing Mark Mancuso take Marshall's place. Surely his tenure at TWC makes him worthy of more than some early morning weekend slot.
-
How long has it been since Marshall has last appeared?
-
I think it's been close to 2 weeks now.
-
I think Carl would be an excellent replacement for Marshall on YWT. His 'weekend and fill-in' position right now is much too weak concerning his persona and on-air talent. He has great on-air comfort and style; he always has a way of explaining things to how an average viewer could understand, and he also goes the extra mile during his presentations to explain outside information (indicating to me he loves meteorology and his job with a passion)
I don't think Bill or Kevin need to fill in for Marshall, I rather they stay with their weekend slots. Dave would also be a weak cantadate for the YWT position, as well as Nick Walker and others. I think the main weekday morning slot should be assumed by someone who is very serious and formal when it comes to meteorological weather presentation aspects. Bill K. doesn't seem to have this seriousness to me, and neither does Dave.
Perhaps YWT will be an all-woman show, with Nicole and Heather as the main anchors and Eboni Deon or another fill-in anchor becoming the new travel anylist? However it unfolds, we will probably be seeing some new faces on TWC sometime real soon. :itsok: :D
-
It's about time. I want to see some new OCM's :D
-
I would like to see some new blood of OCMs too as long as they aren't as boring as Samantha.
-
I don't think TWC would bring in a new OCM for a replacement of a departing OCM, especially for a show like Your Weather Today.
It'll be interesting to see what happens. We've only got just over a month with Marshall and Heather :(
-
I wish they would give us an exact date it seems like they havent been specific about his retirement. All ive heard is "In November" Hopefully they will give us an exact date soon. :hmm:
-

Right, I'm sure they will replace Marshall with someone who currently works a diffrent slot, and that slot will most likely be replaced by a new face.

Yeah, you're absolutely right in that case we do need to see someone new
-
until then, it's off to tivoing every YWT airing until Marshall's gone
-
If they were to bring in a new face to TWC, they'd have to train them on the HD studio. Which means... less Weather Center! On top of that, they might throw in Forecast Fluff and When TWC Got Huge Ratings.
-
You got a point there, I don't like the flip flopping of the long form programming during Weather Center as it is.
-
Here's what Marshall said this morning, "Where has this year gone? November arrives this upcoming weekend, I retire in a week and a half..."
-
When will be his last appearance? A week and half is?
-
Most likely next Friday.
I need to get around to recording clips of Marshall before he leaves.
-
What time will be he on? So I can get my VCR ready.
-
Weekdays 7-10 AM ET
-
Then I'll set it to record between 9:50 and 9:55 am
-
*sets up recordings of YWT for the next 2 weeks*
-
LOL. Someone actually asked when Marshall was on? How long has YWT been airing now? :rofl2: :rofl2:
-

for 8-9 years :yes:
-
Heather announced during the weekly planner that Wednesday will be Marshall's last day.
-
They actually rehashed it several times throughout the day, including during the first Tropical Update where they mentioned how it would be Marshall's last day introducing the Tropical Update and how they'll miss him always being around to fix computer problems.
I guess you could say that come Wednesday, Marshall's career is going to "Seese". :salute:

So Marshall's a computer guy, eh? Interesting. :biggrin:
-
I remember like it was just yesterday, Marshall Seese and Heather Tesch were paired together in the 7am block of Weather Center AM in November 1999....

Has anyone ever noticed that the clock in the "O" of the Your Weather Today logo is pointing to 7:00, the slot it's been since January 3, 2000? I just noticed it the other day...

I noticed that the very first week; TWC likes symbolism in their logos... :P
-
Well whoever said bill keneely would be marshall's replacement is right I think.
-
I think Nick and Vivian should go to YWT, but that's my opinion.
-
We'll see if Bill will still be on Weekend View this weekend. If he is, then these changes are likely just temporary until someone else joins and replaces Marshall's spot. It would be neat to see Al Roker on YWT, IMO. :yes:
-
Gosh darn it i cant believe i didnt record marshalls last day.
-
Does anyone have a video of it?
Man, I miss Marshall. :no:
-
Does anyone have a video of it?
Man, I miss Marshall. :no:
Me too. I don't know if YWT will ever be the same again. :no:
Here's a video, by the way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rwxry3FK8w&fmt=18 (Courtesy of Chris/TVTunerGuy) :)

I'm pretty positive Bill will be the new anchor on YWT. He's been the prime fill-in for Marshall and Heather on YWT ever since the show began airing (IIRC someone correct me if I'm wrong)
However I bet that his weekend spot will be taken by someone who is already on the TWC (and who is at TWC now), and then that someone will be replaced by perhaps a new OCM, if that makes sense. :wacko: just my speculations...

I hope not. Bill and Kelly Cass make a good team, and have been paired in the past, even during the days of Weather Center AM shortly before the 2001 overhaul, and have good on air chemistry.
-
True...but it's a quite a possibility...just look at what TWC has done over the years by splitting up Nick and Kim, Jennifer and Carl, Vivian and Jeff...etc. etc.
-
I've always felt that Mark Mancuso would be an ideal replacement. He's certainly got the experience and he's one of the few original OCM's that still remain at TWC. IMO, he's in a real crappy timeslot right now and deserves much better.
-
And now on Weekend View, there's Billy K along with Kelly and the unboxed Dr. Lyons.
-
I think Carl Parker would be a good replacement for YWT. His on-air personality and presentation would be ideal for the morning slot, IMO.
