Re: TV meteorologists
or, it could be a bunch of old farts on a message board pissing and moaning about "that's not how we did it". if you think critically and strategically, a "prediction" for school closings has one purpose.....drive links and clicks not only for the clicks and shares, but to double whos' looking at ...

Re: TV meteorologists
I’ve been forecasting for longer than Blake has been alive. I’m pretty sure I’m more than qualified to comment on the pseudo science he claims to use to forecast school closings. It’s not a technique that’s scientifically authenticated by any real meteorological accreditation source, Luke the AMS, N ...

Re: TV meteorologists
I cannot believe how wrong Blake's School Closing Predictions were. Hopefully NexStar tells him to stop the crap. Caught his segment a few times today. Noticed a change in his on-air style – for a young fella, he's taking on a somewhat cynical vibe. He's really keen on reaffirming the precision of f ...

Re: TV meteorologists
Among the worst and most out of control hype machine is WOOD TV. Blake Harm’s “EXCLUSIVE!” Closing Predictor is usually wrong. Instead of waiting until schools actually make the decision to close schools, Blake goes on 24-48 hours to use “fake science” to find the “probability” that areas will see c ...

Re: What Happened to Kyle Underwood??
The Weather "Giant Perv" was shown the door for bad behavior in the newsroom. He was very good on-air, but if even 20% of the stories coming from his co-workers are true, it's surprising he's employed at all. What are these allegations? Genuinely curious. Direct Message them if you don't want to ...

Re: WOOD-TV 8 Downtown Studio
Rarely. Mostly during events. I think the noon show uses it during the warm months more often. IMO: I’m not sure who lit that studio but it’s horrendous. Very harsh and full of shadow. Doesn’t feel bright or inviting at all. The set itself doesn’t feel warm. Worse, the cool color temp of the studio l ...

Re: Plans at WZZM
It sure looks like WOOD is pushing Steffen out the door, during his weird "sort of retirement" announcement the other week, he kept inserting comments that he hopes to serve several more years. I must have been the only one watching that got the feeling all of that was done to try and coax him out ...

Re: Former FOX 17 morning anchor Deanna Falzone Suing Station
If memory serves, Falzone announced she was leaving the anchor desk when Avery departed the station and would return part time only after having another kid or something like that. Since she was on-air staff, she must have a 1 or 2 year contract that usually the station can terminate at any time ...

Re: Savannah Fish leaving Fox 17
I always thought TV-17 management made a mistake not promoting Savannah to the weekday morning desk when Mike Avery and Donna Falzone departed. Fish has a wonderful presence, sense of humor and delivery, not to mention she's very easy on the eyes. :8) Seemed like a natural fit to keep the weekday ...

Re: another departure from Fox17 Weather department
I personally never cared for his on-air presentation, always seemed to have bad chemistry with the anchors on the morning show. Real awkward anchor tosses. Seemed forced that they shifted him out with Chief Met Craig. Maybe now the chief will return to evenings? Regardless, I hope Domol finds ...

Re: Doctor complains about TV 8's Whitney Burney's looks on screen
I don’t totally buy that Dr Creep has been setup, though it’s not impossible. Searching him, puts his age 65-75, if that site was reliable. Could be one of those types who's really proud of his doctoral credentials. It wouldn’t shock me if he wanted his credentials to further solidify his opinion to ...

Re: Doctor complains about TV 8's Whitney Burney's looks on screen
The Doctors management needs to become aware of this. A person who deals with patients decides to publicly put something like this out there? I'm not sure he should be allowed to see patients, it's a really bad look. I'd be very nervous if I was a young woman who had an appointment with this creep ...

Re: Deanna Falzone Leaving FOX 17.
Ms Falzone did a good job. The morning show has lost its spark since her and Mr. Avery departed. Best wishes to her. Speaking of, IMO, the morning show isn’t working anymore. The weekend morning anchor Savannah Fish does a great job with a fun personality, IMO. She could have been a solid r ...

Re: Brent Ashcroft leaving WZZM
Asscroft got shafted from TV-17 years ago, after literally building that team (they did the same to Chan). Hopefully not the case again. Apparently he's either retiring or the coin adventure will be more lucrative than TV-13. Best of luck, Brent.
