OCMs & Personalities / Re: Paul Emmick

« Last post by twcclassics on April 09, 2021, 05:48:05 PM »

I actually got to meet him back in 2019 at a college meteorology conference and he was the nicest guy. We just sat and talked about broadcasting for awhile.

That's pretty cool. He was never one of my favorites when he was on TWC, but in recent years, I've came to appreciate him more. While reviewing footage for site updates, I've come across a few of his presentations and a couple of his comments made me laugh out loud. He was professional, classy, and laid back without being goofy. Nice to hear that he was in person like what he seemed on camera.

Meteorologist Paul Emmick Dies

Television meteorologist Paul Emmick has died at the age of 55. Born November 13, 1965, Emmick received his bachelor’s degree from Western Kentucky University, having studied advertising as well as meteorology. He received his master’s degree, also from Western, in organizational communication and his Doctor of Jurisprudence from John Marshall School of Law in general study of law. Emmick died of natural causes.

Emmick started in broadcasting at the age of 14 as a radio DJ. He was on the air in this capacity until he got his first job in television when he turned 20. Paul was later employed for a number of TV stations including WEHT-TV in Evansville as meteorologist from April 1986 to August 1993, with WDRB-TV in Louisville as a freelance meteorologist from December 1992 to April 1996, with The Weather Channel in Atlanta as an on-camera meteorologist from April 1996 to August 2003, with WRTV-TV in Indianapolis as a weekend meteorologist from August 2003 to June 2005, and with WDRB-TV in Louisville as the evening meteorologist beginning in June 2005.

Hate to bump a thread after nearly 10 years, but it sounds like Paul Emmick has recently passed.

I actually got to meet him back in 2019 at a college meteorology conference and he was the nicest guy. We just sat and talked about broadcasting for awhile.

Kind of surprised by this and I hate to hear it.

Hi everyone! I'm Kal. I just turned 17. I live in south Florida. Huge fan of intellistar, weatherscan and xl! My favorite icons are the 2006-2010 icons! My favorite weather segment is the international segment!

General Discussion / Question about the 1998-2006 icons

« Last post by Dylan on March 08, 2021, 11:15:51 PM »

Is it possible to access the nighttime icons from the 1998-2006 set, but in the March 2002-December 2006 form as well as the "WINDY" icon with the letters more squiggly rather than straight without getting them from an actual STAR (which would be illegal to distribute)? TWCZach had a weather site way back in the day, and the icons could be accessed (including the aforementioned nighttime icons and the "WINDY" icon), but that's been gone for many years. I'd appreciate any help from anybody on this.
