I just wanted to ask everybody, which OCMs would you give a specific time slot to and pair up together as partners if you could?

I just got one that I just got on top of my mind before I forget. If Your Weather Today were extended to 4 hours, I would put Nicole Mitchell and Kevin Robinson for the first two hours from 7AM-9AM and then Carl Parker and Heather Tesch for the last two hours from 9AM-11AM and get rid of an hour of Day Planner. Anybody got something exciting than mines? :D I'm curious! :D

How bout pairing Bill Keneely and Jim Cantore for the afternoon or evening? Or Vivian Brown and one of those two men? Two classic Ocms.

Well, I pray this may not happen, BUT, I just read this article from http://www.emediawir...rweb2526964.htm that they going to make more changes to The Weather Channel's OCM. Despite the bad, what do you think Jim Cantore going back to evenings tracking storms that usually happen around that time?

They already have too much long-form programming and they are just going to add more. :angry:

Yeah. They layoff most of our classical meteorologist, they changed our OCM time slots and move the classical OCMs at non-popular times, then they shorten our local on the 8's, and then trying to have all rock music during our local forecast, NOW more CHANGES?! Changing the time slot of the OCM, and then I see they are going to add more programming to TWC than live weather. We use to see mostly live weather. But now, I know these changes are rediculous and NBCU is not caring about the viewers (like us) BUT themselves. They trying to take away our tradtion of The Weather Channel. :angry:

I wish, I wish NBCU would change it's seemily evil ways (long story why). They don't care about The Weather Channel's viewers. All they want is themselves and money. And then Abrams and Bettes replacing Kevin and Nicole after Heather was remove from "Your Weather Today?" Add to that before Your Weather Today, Al Roker will work with Steph on their new show. Are you kidding me! Some web sources says that Nicole Micthell will work for "Weather Center" and Kevin Robison TBD. These are unconfirm reports that I looking at. But so far for sure, Abrams and Bettes will take over "Your Weather Today" by June 22.
