Re: Sam leaving WZZM or is she the new chief?
According to her socials she's been "job shadowing" at WKYC, the Tegna station in Cleveland. So, I'm not a betting man but it seems that she's heading a bit south. It appears that the recently hired Amber Twardy (https://www.wzzm13.com/article/about-us ... 0afa1a1bcf) will be taking over mornings. This is, of course, all speculation but that's the way things appear at this point.
Re: Sam leaving WZZM or is she the new chief?
Sam has been named the new Chief.

I stand corrected. This is an excellent hire for WZZM. Glad that they didn't let her get away.

The way it's worded with where everyone will be once George signs off, I assume the new meteorologist they are advertising for will be weekend nights.

I agree Sam is easy on the eyes I like her and Amber is also good-looking as well.

Circling back to this, perhaps the job shadowing for some additional mentoring, training, etc., to take on the chief role.Localnewsisdead wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2024 12:33 am According to her socials she's been "job shadowing" at WKYC, the Tegna station in Cleveland.
Re: Sam leaving WZZM or is she the new chief?
She was working with Betsy Kling in Cleveland.
Betsy has been the chief at WKYC since 2008.

Not only that, but women who gas each other up and support each other (Ellen Bacca left a comment congratulating Sam on WZZM's facebook post announcing her promotion)BirdieKingBobo wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 4:47 pm Who would have thought that in Ultra Conservative ....

So Ellen shouldn't have publicly congratulated Sam on her promotion???Bull Shannon wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2024 7:53 am Not only that, but women who gas each other up and support each other (Ellen Bacca left a comment congratulating Sam on WZZM's facebook post announcing her promotion)
Re: Sam leaving WZZM or is she the new chief?
GOOD JOB WZZM! Sam does a great job IMHO. And yes, the weather ladies from various stations seem to party with each other on a regular basis. As goes their Facebook pages anyway.

Re: Sam leaving WZZM or is she the new chief?
I wasn't saying that. BKB more or less said "who'd have thought we'd have a TWO female chief meteorologists in this ultra conservative market?"Jason Kragt wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2024 8:56 pmSo Ellen shouldn't have publicly congratulated Sam on her promotion???Bull Shannon wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2024 7:53 am Not only that, but women who gas each other up and support each other (Ellen Bacca left a comment congratulating Sam on WZZM's facebook post announcing her promotion)
I responded more or less saying "and who'd have thought they'd be congratulating each other despite working at rival stations?"
