Dave Schwartz, Cheryl Lemke, Eboni Deon: Weather Channel fired staff
By Clarencia Cynrae on November 23rd, 2008How ironic! This was the middle of NBC’s “Green Week” and NBC celebrated by booting off the entire staff of “Forecast Earth” (an environmental program), and also firing studio meteorologists. NBC’s first major changes to The Weather Channel (TWC) since buying it in September involved these staff layoffs. Eighty staff ended up axed.
The meteorologists who were sacked include Dave Schwartz, Cheryl Lemke and Eboni Deon. NBC released an official statement to explain that the economy and cost synergies were responsible for the company reorganization.

I cannot believe they let Dave Schwartz go. Terrible mistake!
November 24th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
I hate to see anyone lose their jobs, however, it’s about time. I want far less commentary and much more weather. I love the specials, but give me to factual and practical weather information. Not philosophy, theory or agenda based diatribe.
Sorry to see them go! Especially Eboni!

Agreed on Dave, but Forecast Earth was Sunday evening services for the religion of global warming.

Explain how Schwartz goes and Heidi Cullen Stays!
November 26th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Cheryl & Dave are co-anchoring Day Planner this morning. Do we know when this action becomes effective?

Explain how Schwartz goes and Heidi Cullen Stays!
Now we know where the inventor of the New Coke finally found a job.
November 29th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
I loved Dave Schwartz@! he was my favorite….I do not agree with his dismissal…………..at all! he was very professional, and loved his job and it showed…..he was one of their biggest talents!
November 29th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
dave schwartz was one of theBEST!! am bummed about him being cut….NBC is wrong!
November 30th, 2008 at 7:11 am
OMG! I loooooove Cheryl! She’s a great meteorologist and a total babe as well. I’ve had a major crush on her for years! I hope she stays on the air. I’d kiss her feet just to be near her.
November 30th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
It would be a much better move to keep those three and get rid of Heidi Cullen! Another misstep for NBC. Surprise.
December 1st, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Dave Schwartz canned? C’mon. He presented the weather just as if he was your next door neighbor. Like MSNBC, another screw up by NBC.
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:03 am
I wondered how long it would take for the “brain trust” or should I say lack thereof at NBC to start messing up TWC. It would appear to me that there is a lot broken that needs fixing at NBC before they have any time to work on improving TWC. This is not to say however that the loss of Heidi Cullen would not be a good move along with a couple of other blowhards by the name of Cantore and Steele. They could also jettison the resident podiatrist Dr Anna Marie without hurting my feelings.
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:53 am
Dave Schwartz was the best forecaster, like talking to a friend. Cheryl and Eboni were the more friendlier of the meterologists as well.
Why not can Abrams, Bettes and Cantori. Their inane banter drove me away from watching them ages ago. Same goes for the morning weather now that Marshall has ‘retired’, though he probably was forced to go as well. If I want the weather now, I go to a website, not weather.com.
December 2nd, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Just loved watching Dave Schwartz–he is one of the top meteorologist next to Mr. Cantore. He was TWC’s answer to Fred Rogers–he was one person that truly cared. Dave graduated from the same high school as I did–Northeast High in Phila. PA a year later than me. I was looking on TWC website to e-mail him and noticed him gone. I couldn’t believe they let Cheryl go, as well–such a brain, totally professional and she’s been there a long time. What was the Weather Channel thinking?

Not Cheryl!! She had the best enunciation of any person on TV! Eboni is a cutie! And Dave was everybody’s buddy. Did they give them 2 weeks notice? Dave was still working over Thanksgiving – or was that one last slap in the face – making him work the holiday just before getting canned?? General Electric / NBC screws up again. Please fire Keith Olberman next!!!!
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Very sad to hear about Cheryl Lemke and Dave Schwartz! They are truly going to be missed by many! In regards to the good doctor at the Weather Channel, I think she does a great job on her reports. I have colleagues that are podiatric surgeons and I think it’s insulting to think with all of Dr. Anna Marie’s education and training some people don’t think she has the ability to be a health reporter. There are many medical reporters on the air (ie CNN’s Elizabeth Cohen, with no healthcare background!
Please note: “Podiatric medical education in the United States trains podiatric physicians to heal the body ATTACHED to the feet, as the curriculum of said schools are mirrored after MD medical programs. The programs stress the same basic medical science courses in the first two years as their MD counterparts, but there is more of an emphasis on lower leg anatomy and pathology than obstetrics and gynaecology, psychiatry, etc. in the third and fouth years of education.
December 10th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Dave Schwartz??? C’mon….They should have gotten rid of that annyoing one Stephanie Abrams…OMG she is completely annoying….Dave Schwartz has been the most professional and wonderful on air personality. He really loved his job. It showed. I LOVED to watch him (even as of late when it was overnights). Dave was a rock to TWC, and now, it is just TLC, The Lame Channel. Sorry, won’t be watching anymore. NBC you screwed up big time!
December 11th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
I cant believe NBC was stupid enough to fire Dave Schwartz. That guy was by far the best meteorologist on TV. Lemke and Deon were pretty damn good as well. There are plenty of people they could have canned before Dave. He was one of the reasons I would watch the weather channel for more than 2 minutes. Bad move NBC!
December 21st, 2008 at 5:30 am
In my opinion, Eboni was never given a fair shake as far as oppertunities go. They could’ve used her as a sub for “Weekend View” whenever Bill and/or Kelly went on va-cay. NBC-Universal, you screwed up royally!
December 21st, 2008 at 6:39 am
I think they should let the boneheads at NBC go. They are not too bright. Cheryl was one of the best on the Weather channel. She is going to be missed. She was always very relaxed and made it comfortable watching the weather. Thanks a lot NBC for messing things up once again.
December 23rd, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Eboni was great at her job, very professional. I have no idea why they would let her go. The other two firings look like ageism to me. Very sad.
December 23rd, 2008 at 6:14 pm
NBC has clearly not based their decision on meteorological or journalistic ability. I can only pray that Cheryl, Dave and Eboni took voluntary reduncancies otherwise the question of ageism and racism enters the equation. Who likes Cantori (impossibly annoying) or “your buddy” Mielcarz? You are not my buddy pal. And a podiatrist is NOT qualified to tell me the practical measures I can take to avoid the common cold or flu. NBC is clearly full of morons.
December 26th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
They were crazy to get rid of the three veterans. I always thought Cheryl Lemke was great and ageless; very nice looking. Compare her to anyone her age – she doesn’t look her age at all. Dave Schwartz has been doing weather around Atlanta for years. I used to stay on TWC when Cheryl was on. I doubt I’ll watch the channel any more.
December 26th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Are you joking?!?!? Cantore is one of the best features of the Weather Channel! He is their key talent when it comes to severe weather. When he’s on a plane–you know you need to worry about the weather of your destination! LOL! In regards to the Dr. Anna Marie’s qualifications as a podiatric surgeon to give basic healthy living advice-give me a break! Are you that ignorant? Aren’t your legs/feet attached to your BODY?!?? Come on, I have good friends in the specialty of medicine-they go through many years of education/training to gain their podiatric surgery degree. Sounds like you’re a bit jealous with these key talents!
January 4th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Jealous??? Yes I wake every morning wishing I was Jim Cantore and putting forward my gratuitously sincere and overly mannered opinion on the weather channel instead of just giving me the facts in a non-pretentious way like most of the cast, and pretending I was as much an authority on all things health-related as Dr Anna Marie.In case you dont realise I am being sarcastic. At Least Cantore has the qualifications, so my personal opinion is purely subjective. But I am a psychiatrist and went through Med School and learnt all about the body – mind – illness connection but would never pretend to know more about the common cold than a Respiratory Physician, or about the best Chemotherapy for treating Bowel Cancer than a Gastroenterologist or Abdominal Surgeon. My point is that Dr Anna Marie is aesthetically pleasing to the camera and hence probably got the job over hundreds of more qualified but less camera – friendly applicants. If the weather channel had more funding they would be able to provide advice on health issues from the best professionals available in the relevant field, and if not then a General Physician or M.D. would hold considerably more gravitas than a Podiatrist or Orthopaedic Surgeon. If I need to know the best treatment for an ingrown toenail, give me Dr Anna Marie, otherwise give me a physician that is most qualified to give me advice.
January 8th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Kevin Robinson should go and Marshall Sesse
January 13th, 2009 at 9:16 am
I can’t believe they got rid of Dave! He was fun to watch. NBC screws up everything they touch. Dave had a great personality, and enjoyed his job!
January 14th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
I haven’t watched the TWC for a while because of cable problems in our area. I have to say I am very disappointed to see Cheryl Lemke has left and apparently not by choice.
What’s the matter, more budget cuts. You could have tried by getting rid of the no-names you have on staff and kept the familiar and definitely more popular people on your staff.
You can start with Cantori, that man is the most over confident, and many times arrogant beyond belief and should be canned. Obviously, he thinks he is just the cat’s hind-end, but he is nothing in my book.
Come on, NBC, get your act together or you will be losing more viewers.
January 14th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Dave is gone???? that’s just awful. He inspired all three of our sons to be weather bugs. They love him and so do we. We stopped watching the weather channel when they became involved in “global warming politics” and opinionated.
January 16th, 2009 at 10:50 am
It’s a shame they let Dave Schwartz go…presenting weather to the tv audience can be a little dry, but Dave somehow made you want to keep watching. He has a great wit and managed to present the weather in a “FUN” type of way. Along with being professional he was fun to watch and cracked me up at times…Dave, if you happen to read this stuff…good luck and don’t change the way to provide the weather news.
January 18th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Don’t be such a hambone..tune into CNN…Elizabeth Cohen gives medical advice-no health degree of any sort. Dr. Bizzell and Dr. Max Gomez on NBC and CBS…both PHD’s. Dr. Anna Marie, besides being a pretty face, does a nice job on her reports! Very informative.
January 19th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
what happened Jennetta Jones
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:27 am
What? No wonder I haven’t seen my buddy Dave lately. I’m very disappointed to learn that Dave was let go in this way. His love for his job, his humor, his knowledge, his human-ness on the set all made him a great asset to TWC and a great ambassador of science in general. My son has become a buff in his own right…inspired in no small way by the way Dave had fun with his subject and kept it interesting. I’m sure they could have let someone else go.
Dave, you are very much missed!
January 24th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Well reading the comments that are already posted confirms that we are not along in our feelings about the firings of Swartz,Limke and Deon and that most people hate alot of the people that were kept on. Also, many share the feeling of wanting weather and not tripe and opinion and stories just weather. It would be nice for the staff to get out of the way durining the weekly forecast and for the maps to be larger for us older viewers. The management screwed up royally!!!!!
January 26th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
what is dave s. up to these days.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Dave Schwartz was by far the best weatherman on TWC..always had a personal touch with a bit of comic relief and did not try to over dramatize each 1″ snowfall..
Nice going NBC…..Granted with the format changes I had reduced watching TWC …this does it for me…Try to find Kam Kameron and I might give it another peek…
January 29th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
I can’t believe the Weather Channel was idiotic enough to let Dave Schwartz go. I thought that he was the most professional and knowledgeable meteorologist when it came to the weather. I’m also very sad to hear about Cheryl and Eboni getting canned too. I only hope they all have savings to fall back on (I went thru a similar “firing” in 1998 after 22 years at the same company, so I’ve been there, too.). While I’m on the subject of TWC; why do they repeat the same shows over and over (sometimes 7 times/week or more)? Heidi Cullen is the most irritating and self-absorbed personality on TWC, they should have let her go after her first day!
BTW: I work in the same city where Bill Keneely comes from; Wayne, NJ!
February 6th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
I, too, can not believe Dave is gone! He was the best ever! I have been watching and haven’t seen him for two months and just decided to look on the internet to find out what happened. He was the warmest, funniest guy – and knowledgeable, too. I loved the way he knew his way around the map and would call out small towns around the Country. I am so sad – you could tell he loved his job and made me love watching TWC…I hope he gets picked up somewhere else so we can see him again!
February 7th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
“Dave Scwartz” is the reason I watched the weather channel… I have been looking for him for the past two months and just found out he is gone. Very sad. I have to “mute” the sound every time Abrams, Bettes or Cantori come on because they are so irritating! BIG MISTAKE letting Dave go….He was “THE REAL DEAL”. What in God’s green earth were the idiots who fired him thinking? I am no longer watching TWC.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
I agree with the other 99 percent on this blog, Dave Schwartz was the best thing on TWC and has been for years. I used to love the banter between him and Lisa Mozer. I hope we can fined out where Dave goes so when can still watch him. If anyone knows, please post.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:34 am
I cannot believe Dave is gone. I have watched the WC since the beginning. I was always appreciative of Daves efforts. Get rid of that pompous Jim Cantore. Bring Dave back.
February 14th, 2009 at 9:50 am
My husband and I watch the Weather Channel religiously and loved Dave Schwartz. He was the bright spot on your show and made weather fun and enjoyable. Needless to say, we are very upset that he has been fired. We agree there are others that could have gone instead of Dave. BRING HIM BACK!!! This will certainly change our viewing of the Weather Channel and we will watch our own local weather from here on out. Your judgment in letting him go was very poor!!
February 14th, 2009 at 9:52 am
Letting Dave Schwartz go was a big mistake – HUGE MISTAKE! Won’t watch Weather Channel again!!!
February 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Thanks NBC for making me hate your network even more. Dave was the best thing TWC had going. I guess you guys had to make room for more of that global warming bullshit and your budget couldn’t include dave. I will not watch TWC or NBC anymore.
February 19th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Unbelievable! Dave was a ‘down-home’ easy- to -understand meteorologist. I also liked Eboni Deon. But I cannot stand to watch Stephanie Abrams vally’ behavior. She reminds me of a cast member on “Beverly Hills 90120″
February 22nd, 2009 at 12:16 am
Almost everyone agrees they got rid of real weather people and kept blow hards. Maybe that is why I watch 20 minutes a week now when I used to watch 20 hours a week! Get this: the weather 10 or 20 or 50 years ago does not matter. Someone needs to start a new channel call the “Real Weather Channel” and knock what has become a joke off! I have been watching these people, who are very competitent, for years and now they are gone and I get stupid stories instead. Maybe that is why I have been forced to get my weather at Weather Underground off the web. Some of the current dim bulbs now call wind chill the “feels like” temperture. Most 2 year olds don’t watch the weather channel.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm
The Weather Channel is not the same without Dave Schwartz and Cheryl Lemke. Dave Schwartz had a stand alone great personality, he was my favorite TV meteoroligist for many years. Dave was one of the top most qualified TV meteoroligists ever. The other top qualified TV meteoroligist is on WGN TV, named Tom Skilling, whom has been with WGN for years. I like Tom Skilling too, but he was never connected to the Weather Channel. The boneheads at NBC were careless to the feelings of the viewers. Cheryl Lemke was professional, intellectual, and she was another favorite. I hope they find jobs on another major network.
February 26th, 2009 at 5:48 am
Who wants weather without Dave. It really made me wonder why would you discharge him and gain the incompetent persons we see now. I just don’t get it!
March 1st, 2009 at 10:56 am
I live in Florida and count on TWC to provide up-to-date life saving weather news. Many times our state has had inbound hurricains while TWC ran reruns of It Could Happen Tomorow or How Weather Changed History. Please bring back Cheryl, Eboni, and Dave so they can save Floridian lives in the future as they have in the past.
March 3rd, 2009 at 10:23 pm
I miss Dave. He was the best on TWC. He made me laugh. In a matter of fact I though of him as my friend or someone I knew. He let you knew what was going to happen and truly cared.
March 4th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
When cable TV came to my town on the early 1980s i could not get enough of the Weather Channel. But ever since the early 90s the station’s apparent emphasis has changed from that of delivering weather information to one of selling commercials. Vis-a-vis on air personalities, the station has managed to lose or cast off many of the individuals that made the channel endearing; gone are the days of the Gaye Dawsons, the Collene Wines and the Bonnie MacClaughlins [sic] not to mention what happened to Marney & Heidi. I remember when Catori had hair. Jim you are obviously a knowledgeable meteorologist, how you can stay with this station which is merely a shell of its former self escapes me. The Weather channel used to be the background audio/video in my home during all waking hours, now the Local on the Eight’s is about all I can stand.
March 4th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
I didnt’t want to see Marshall Seese leave but my other favorite was Dave Schwartz. Why would you let someone as talented as Dave let go from the Weather Channel? Big mistake and I’m sure you will lose viewers over this decision.
March 6th, 2009 at 2:18 am
No matter who NBC keeps on TWC….there apparently are only people living in the Eastern half of the US. Many of our friends and get-togethers, talk about the “lack” of any of the personalities giving decent reports for any place other than the East Coast and South (sometimes). I realize that there are many people all conglomerated around NY Boston, etc…BUT….do you realize there are actually people living in the Mid West and West? Sure doesn’t seem that way. No more TWC for us!
March 8th, 2009 at 2:18 am
Boy I just had my computer fixed so we could find out what happened to Dave — and hoping he was not ill. Now we are — can not believe you got rid of your BEST news person — and we could tell he put everything in to his job. What a shocker — wejust can’t believe this one…
March 8th, 2009 at 10:06 am
what a shock to hear about dave schwartz,and cheryl lemke!they were the best,and I wish them nothing but the best!nbc universal should have never bought twc!
horrible mistake!
March 11th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
After the new year I was missing Dave Schwartz and wondering where he was. I could not find anything about him on TWC website. Yes, he was my favorite, too. So affable and always referring to us as,”my friend”. I will miss his talent and humanity on TWC, but glad that he was not ill. Bring Back Dave!!!!
March 12th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Stunned to just learn that Schwartz and Lemke were let go. I thought Cheryl was their absolute best meteorologist. As soon as I knew NBC took over Weather Channel, I knew it would start going down hill. Like the others who have posted, I watch TWC less and less these days.
March 17th, 2009 at 1:05 am
Dave was a great guy. I was worried that it was his health as he looked as if he had lost weight. Perhaps it was the stress at working at TWC?? Jim Cantore CAN go any day. He’s more into how he looks and sounds on TV than any of them. Very boring. Stephanie Abrams can tune it down a notch or two – way too much of a fake. Too bad. They lost some real personalities.
March 20th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Dave Schwartz and Cheryl Lemke were Veterans of TWC. I was just wondering this morning, what happened to Dave? I haven’t seen him on in a while. And I see this…he was fired. You gotta be kidding me! Dave was an Icon of the company! So was Cheryl. I remember watching Dave when I was a young teenager…he had a way of making you “appreciate” weather. Awesome personality too. I wonder what happened to Kristina Abernathy and Sharon Resultan…two other veterans of the company? Did this new acqusition of TWC by NBC cause them to leave too? Give me a break. TWC is throwing away the people that MADE THE CHANNEL AND COMPANY BLOOM. And I agree about Stephanie Abrams…what has become of this channel and it’s professionalism? She should be terminated immediately. BRING MR. SCHWARTZ BACK Please! No wonder Bill Keneely and Mike Seidel seem depressed on camera now. The channel fired all their friends. I hope they’re not going to get fired next! The only thing left on TWC that’s good is Local on the 8s. We ALL miss you Dave!! As well as the other icons that were unfairly trashed by NBC. Once again, good luck with your new careers.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:40 am
As per usual with this country, anyone older, more experienced, and usually more professional, is kicked to the curb in favor of young faces who appeal to the 20-something crowd. Not to say that younger people don’t deserve a chance, but how about we respect and value those who clearly do an amazing job, and appeal to ALL age groups? Dave Schwartz was my favorite person on TWC, due to his wonderful personality and obvious professionalism. I’ve watched him on TWC as far back as 1995. TWC is much more dull without him. He has more charisma than any other. Cheryl Lemke was wonderful as well and will also be missed. I realize that all age groups were affected, but to get rid of 2 people so highly regarded by the viewing public is ridiculous. Shame on NBC for being so obtuse.
March 25th, 2009 at 3:20 am
It is that their contracts were up and they getting the big salary. They kept the people with the lower salaries and/or still under contract. We will probably see more go in the coming months. They should get rid of Steele, Brown, Mohr, Marie, Cantore, Robinson and bring back Sharon Resultan, Cheryl Lemke and Dave Scwartz.
March 25th, 2009 at 8:44 am
no! dave scwarts is gone??? he was crazy! he was the only entertaining weather man out there. i read that hes been with the show since 1985, and first appeared on air in 1991. i wonder what hes doing now? i remember the first time i saw him, he was going crazy over this snow storm that was going to make a white christmas. whever i watched him i would always think he was over doing it and that any second now they were going to go to the technical difficulties sign please stand by hahahaha
March 26th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Dave Schwartz was above all my favorite! I have been watching him for years and have been missing him, it’s terrible what they did. I hope he can find a great job, he has all the talent and charisma to make weather interesting and I did think of him as “my friend”
Take care Dave – you’re a fighter and a winner!!!
TWC – you will not be watched near as much in my house, that was cold!!!! Pun intended!!!
March 27th, 2009 at 3:45 am
those morons at nbc could screw up a free lunch at the Y. dave schwartz and cheryl lemke were my favorites
March 28th, 2009 at 5:15 am
Get rid of that pseudo-scientist Heidi u.gly-on-a-stick. She makes me want to burn a tire. Bring back the Scwartz-Man!
March 28th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
In my humble opinion, The Weather Channel used to be a destination to go for the Weather. It was the celebrities It has now been torn apart. So I now watch my local channels. Shame on the current management. GE NBC BOUGHT A VALUABLE ASSET AND IS DESTROYING IT. GREAT JOB.
March 31st, 2009 at 6:03 am
BRING BACK DAVE SCHWARTZ. I can watch TWC for hours when Dave is on. Not only does he add some humor to the forcast, but he mentions little towns and events that make him more personable. We will miss you greatly Dave. So sorry to see that cheryl got the boot as well. I remember her when the channel first got started. What a shame. If eboni is the anorexic dark girl, I am glad to see her go. She couldnt have weighed more than 50lbs. Shoulda put her on the hurricane coverage. But leave it to ole G.E. to can the Dave and Cheryl. Ive boycotted their products for years. And if any of you actually know someone who works at G.E. you would boycott them too. So glad to see them at 8 bucks a share recently.
March 31st, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Please bring back DAVE!!!! He was amazing… I loved watching him. He had great stories about places all over the U.S. He really made watching the weather enjoyable! I miss him… Best wishes, Dave!
April 1st, 2009 at 7:03 pm
Eboni Deon was the most pleasant and articulate meteorologist on TWC. My mom and I just loved to hear her speak! cant believe they let her go…im sure she wont have a problem getting another gig though-she was good at what she did!
April 7th, 2009 at 8:16 am
I’ve watched Dave Schwartz for years and really enjoyed his weather presentations. Why would they get rid of Dave, Sharon Resultan, Christina Abernathy, Cheryl Lemke…and keep those other robotic personalities? Only Kim Perez and Heather Tesche are worth watching now. But I’ll not be watching TWC anymore, except to check weather on the 8’s.
April 10th, 2009 at 10:49 am
The Weather Channel-NOPE, not anymore. Since NBC(Nothing But Crap)took over! Firing Dave Schwartz-you have got to be kidding me. He was the reason 75% of people watched TWC. Oh well, they also say all good things must end. Miss ya Dave. GOD BLESS and MAY THE SCHWARTZ BE YOU!!
April 13th, 2009 at 12:03 am
“Say it ain’t so!”
I cannot believe Dave Schwartz is gone. He will be terribly missed in my home. I guess he was too wonderful for NBC. Dave you will always be my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless!!!!!!!!!!
April 18th, 2009 at 2:34 am
all of the good ones are gone! all my favs are gone, NBC has screwed up the weather channel big time. miss all of you and hope things work out wherever you are!!!
April 23rd, 2009 at 12:33 am
Please bring Dave back. I wrote when I first started watching The Weather Channel saying how much I loved it when he was on. He made just watching the weather so enjoyable. Miss you Dave.
April 25th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Dave was getting beat up too much in bar fights. They got tired of digitally removing his black eyes and facial scars. He is a little punk s–t like all the other lewd troublemaker creeps.
April 29th, 2009 at 11:36 am
The Weather Channel is nothing more than NBC’s conduit to the Al Gore crowd and their perpetual whining about the poor polar bears. The entire mis-guided concept is nothing more than a means to extract more tax dollars. Welcome to the United States of Socialist America.
May 2nd, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Posters 76 and 77 are now residing in hell, I hope. The Weather Channel was toast as soon as NBC bought it. I knew instantly they would get rid of my favorite meteorologists, especially Dave, and they did. They’re all ratings-driven now, and are turning into a sports channel. You can’t write them. There is no contact number of any kind. I hate them.

Cherly Lemke looked like the poster child for anorexia. It was frightening to watch her wither away. She looked almost like a skeleton the past few months. Maybe the Weather Channel recognized this. I hope she is getting help.
May 5th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
please bring back Mr. Schwarz and Ms. Lemke.They, unlike some of the others currently onTWC, were professionals. What a shame.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:41 am
dON,T enjoy watching the weather channel anymore with Sharon Resultan gone BIG MISTAKE !!!!!!!

Dave Schwartz made the weather fun to listen to and watch. He has a wonderful sense of humor and was just so good. Cheryl Lemke was also one of my favorites, just a real pro and very, very good. I could certainly live without Dr. Anne Marie. Maybe she should start smoking cigarettes and shut up. Eboni didn’t get a fair shake either, wasn’t there long enough to hit her stride. You morons fired the absolute best folks that work at the Weather Channel.
May 26th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Glad to see Dave Schwartz gone. He talked to the viewers as if they were stupid. “Now that’s a (long pause) cloud. Clouds (pause) cause (long pause) rain”. Gooooooooolly-Gee. Ya think?
May 27th, 2009 at 11:18 am
Dave is on CBS 46 Atlanta today at noon!
May 28th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Easy, easy, no brainer: Bring back Resultan, Lemke, wierd Dave Schwartz and Deon. Get rid of Abrams, Cantore, Bettes and Robinson. DUH!
May 30th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Would agree with most that I’ve read, and I too, hate to see Dave S go, when they hang on to the likes of Abrams, Steele and Cantore. But the one that really, and I mean really needs to be replaced is Paul Goodloe. That guy can’t ad lib comfortably through a sunny day. Every sentance begins with ‘yeah’ or ‘again’, as he struggles through identifying a location on the map or as he attempt to bring relevance to the forecast with some current event. Help me. I turn it off after one Local on the 8’s, and its on mute most of the time.
June 1st, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Dave was the Man ! He was one of the best people they had… Good Luck Buddy!
June 4th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
I cannot believe that Dave Schwartz, Cheryl Lemke and Eboni Deon were all terminated from the Weather Channel. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Weather Channel. I understood how Bob Stokes and Hilary Andrews were let go due to sexual harrassment brought by Ms Andrews to Mr Stokes. But, what did Dave, Cheryl and Eboni do to get fired? Nothing.
June 7th, 2009 at 10:55 am
I think Cheryl was one of the best on the Weather Channel. Cutting her was a BIG mistake by NBC! I hope she finds another jpb, and surpasses all her colleagues on TWC. Good Luck Cheryl! Can’t wait to see your smiling face back on TV soon!
June 21st, 2009 at 1:33 am
I used to be a big fan of TWC when Dave Schwartz was on. I find him very knowledgeable and entertaining and was surprised to learn that he was only a weather reporter. He then became a meteorologist and I was happy for him. He did not let the title get to his head and was just as entertaining. When I found out Dave was no longer there, I stopped watching TWC and had to stick to local channels. NBC has caused TWC to lose a lot of fans because of the mistakes made in getting rid of people like Dave Schwartz, Cheryl Lemke, and Sharon Resultan. I am no longer a fan of TWC.
June 21st, 2009 at 1:44 am
Thanks to Justin, I was happy to learn that Dave Schwartz is working for CBS in Atlanta, Georgia. I believe you can see him on cbsatlanta.com.
June 22nd, 2009 at 6:49 am
I agree with with most of the previous coments: Dave Schwartz made the weather fun to listen to and watch. He has a wonderful sense of humor and act4ed like he was talking to his listeners. Sharon Resultan and Cheryl Lemke were also favorites. I can’t stand to watch the insipid Dr. Susie Q, oops, I mean Dr. Ann Marie (no last name?),and the blond gigglers, like Alexandra Steele. The new programming (Storm Stories, Katrina-over and over and over, ad nauseum, etc) is repetitous and doesn’t give us our weather. What happened to Weather on the 8s? I agree with, “You morons fired the absolute best folks that work at the Weather Channel.” I’ve pretty much stopped watching TWC. Fortunately, I live in Atlanta and can at least see Dave Schwartz on a local channel!
June 26th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
It is just like NBC firing their best people. No wonder nobody watches NBC anymore. I certainly don’t.
The new format of TWC is so bad that I no longer watch it either. I used to watch the channel a lot. The boring weather stories and other stuff do not interest me. I am interested in the weather forecast, nothing else.
Cheryl Lempke and Dave Schwartz were the best. I am really disappointed in NBC’s decision to let these good people go. It’s was a stupid decision.
June 26th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Glad to help Helen. Dave works Saturdays and Sundays on CBS Atlanta, and they have all his forecasts on their website cbsatlanta.com
July 1st, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Hey, TWC… DUMP THIS
#1. Storm Stories
#2. It Could Happen Tomorrow
#3. Full Force Nature
#4. Tornado Hunt
#5. When Weather Changed History
#6. Danny Lipford, “Project Of The Week.”
Maybe AccuWeather will launch a weather “channel” and just do the basics. TWC needs competition in a mighty big way.
July 1st, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Average Half hour on TWC in 2009: Bikini models, porcupines, news, and a slight bit of Hurricane coverage (Weather).
Local forecasts now have rock music instead of jazz.
I was watching The Weather Channel since 1995.
I saw it get bad, but this is an OUTRAGE!
Biggest mistake ever. NBC, get your stinkin’ hands off TWC.
Nobody watches you!
The Weather Channel was better in the hands of Landmar Communications.
July 3rd, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Well, it’s part of the way the business is run and I’m sure these veterans will take it standing up. They will easily find other positions, perhps even on national shows. I just hope the powers at NBC Universal will wake up and do something about their MSNBC. What a horrible, horrible joke of a line-up.
July 5th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
I am a 100 percent weather geek … always have been .. The weather channel WAS much better several years ago . I (like others) are tired of the ’special shows’ that are constantly on . I watched TWC so much, the forecasters become like ‘friends’ . Now some of friends are gone from TWC . As soon as another 24 weather channel comes on the air in my area, no more weather channel for me . If that is how they treat their workers NBC can kiss my rotund ass.
July 13th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
I just knew I wasn’t alone. Your changes are obviously made by mediocre minds with exaggerated salaries and egos. NBC, General Electric are run by greed with no social or environmental conscience on any level. But then what can you expect from the number one manufacturer of nuclear war heads. So now honorable weather journalism is being replaced by B level Hollywood productions and stories and air headed egotists like Steele and Cantori flashing phony smiles and talking about themselves, “Aren’t we cute? Aren’t we very very cute?” NO! your nauseating!!
July 14th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Cantore is a great TV Met who is extremely knowledgeable. Abrams is intelligent too and she looks good. Bettes has that nice guy, Seacrest vibe. The others are pretty nondescript but do their jobs. TWC kept the best TV Mets although I don’t really like Dr Steve Lyons and wish they would replace him with Cantore who knows just as much about the tropics. Schwartz and Lemke were good TV Mets but are aging. The worst TV Met I ever saw on TWC was Hillary “swizzle stick” Andrews, but she was so easy on the eyes. She screwed up every 5th line, but when she smiled after each goof my heart would melt…
July 15th, 2009 at 1:44 am
hello
July 15th, 2009 at 1:58 am
Well I for one do not agree with the Dave firing, however there were many who needed to go and plenty who still need to go in my opinion. I for one have been a weather channel fan for umpteen years and like many others have become disgusted with all the fillers and repeat shows that we now see on the channel. What happened to the old days where the channel reported the WEATHER? Dave was a class act and for all you non-CANTORE fans, he in my opinion is the best of the best… Also in my opinion people got canned for bigger names I.E. Al Roker, who let us not forget is a product of NBC… Well he already has the TODAY show. Why should people have to give way/lose jobs for that (just my opinion)? Bottom line, stop all the celebrity BS and bring back the focus of what the WEATHER CHANNEL was created for and that purpose was for the expertise of informing the public about WEATHER…
July 15th, 2009 at 2:10 am
P.S. I wonder what the WEATHER channel would have been like with the likes of the greatest forecasters I have ever known such as the late “DICK FLETCHER” or “ROY LEEP” (who retired many moons ago) who were by far were the two best meteorologists ever the tampa bay area has ever seen. WOW, what a team they would have been on the TWC!!!
July 21st, 2009 at 10:18 am
I wish they would get rid of that yippy skippy goofy Stephanie Abrams, and I just about ralphed up my Wheaties this morning watching her yuck it up with Al Roker. Where did the grownups go on that channel? And please, no more re-enactments of people stuck under the debris in their mobile homes after a tornado. Lets get back to the professionals and leave the comedy shows to the comedy channel. Oh, and PS Al, those of us in the southwest know what a haboob is.
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:34 pm
I am very disappointed NBC terminated the veteran METs on TWC. I have enjoyed and been educated by every one of the OCM’s. The present ones are fine as well. I would prefer the Weather Specials to be placed on a spin-off Network to leave space for regular weather reports. It seems that when threatening weather is occurring the regular reports are delayed by the Specials. The Specials are quite good–just put them on an additional Network. My overall favorites have been Jim Cantore and Cheryl Lemke, but allwere good…
July 27th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Now that NBC owns TWC…we might start seeing some real drastic changes…we already have..Al Roker shoved his way into it with his own show..He was one of the reasons I hated watching the NBC morning show, now I wont watch TWC in the early AM..because of his “neck of the woods” broadcasting. Air head Abrams should have gotten the ax. I think we will see the demise of Siedel, Abernathy, Tesch, Smith, and Morrow..if they havent already been canned. They were TWC staples
July 29th, 2009 at 12:11 am
Unlike some posting here, I like Cantore and Abrams and actually most of the rest of the people who are still on TWC. And I find some of the other programming they do now interesting, although there’s too much of it. But, wow, to get rid of all the other really great people–especially Dave Schwartz–and then to have all this hoo ha about Al Roker! If I wanted to watch Roker, I’d have watched whatever show it was he was on. Nothing against him at all, he’s entertaining, but he’s a “personality” as much as anything. We used to love all the regulars on TWC and felt like they were almost friends. Leave it to GE to ruin something else. Bring back the _REAL_ Weather Channel!
July 29th, 2009 at 11:54 am
The networks, like NBC and CBS can screw up anything they touch! WX Channel was fine the way it was…each of the anchors were personalities.
And now that NBC bought WX Channel, they put that ridiculous clown Al ROker on in the morning! One of the reasons I don’t watch Today Show is due to him,and now his clownlike face and antics are all over the WX Channel…another channel erased from my remote control lineup!!! Thanks NBC!!!
CBS has screwed up CMT by running movies and inane programming. Makes one wonder why they buy these properties anyway? It is obvious they bought them because they were popular, then they come in and change them…they have a history of doing this for years.
Happily, I don’t watch the networks anymore, there is too much intelligent programming elsewhere!
July 31st, 2009 at 5:50 am
Al Roker, although I like the guy, has a degree in
Broadcast Journalism. He is not a meteorologist.
Back when I used to watch TWC (prior to all the fluff… #1. Storm Stories, #2. It Could Happen Tomorrow, #3. Full Force Nature, #4. Tornado Hunt
#5. When Weather Changed History, #6. Danny Lipford, “Project Of The Week.”… well, back then it was like having a real licensed pilot fly the airplane you were riding. Now that Al Roker is on, it’s like they dumped the pilot and now have a cab-driver.
I now get my weather at WEAT5HER.COM because TWC has lost it’s soul.
August 6th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
These fine folks were let go to allow TWC to pay Al Roaker’s salary. Big mistake. They were smart to cancel the weekend show: TOO network-like morning fluff. But this Roaker thing is utter nonsense. There is a reason people watch TWC, and it isn’t to be watching The Today Show. Dave Schwartz?! Haven’t got a brain in your head. This is what happens when clueless network tpes get ahold of something.
August 9th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I think it was a terrible mistake letting Dave Schwartz go. He really did a great job, and I enjoyed watching him so much, as did my family and friends. He made it all very interesting. Why him? He was one of the Weather Channel’s best. I agree with most of the comments preceding mine. Somebody didn’t know what they were doing.
August 11th, 2009 at 9:25 am
NBC is a trashy network for letting the long-time Meteorolgists go. It breaks my heart that Dave’s career had to end this way. Maybe a better spot somewhere more caring about plus 50s.
August 13th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Dave was the reason I would watch TWC. I really miss him! Bad move on the part of NBC.
August 16th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
O-M-G! I know I am seeing and hearing things!! Not Dave Schwartz and Cheryl Lemke!!Sure am going to miss Cheryl’s meticulous diction and Dave’s hilarity!!I could watch these 2 for hours and not get bored. Who ever heard of laughing your head off watching the weather? Well, Dave could make you do it!! Bless their hearts. Love and miss you guys!!Don’t know what these freakin yay-whoo’s at NBC are thinkin’!! It’s almost as if they said “Hmmm! Let’s see…who are the most popular of TWC crew? Ah! Dave and Cheryl and Eboni…let’s let them go!” Terrible decision!! Shame on NBC.
August 17th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Dave was THE BEST!! NBC is stupid to let all those great ppl go. And I agree, why not get rid of Stephanie Abrams! She is the most annoying person to watch! I turn the channel when she is on.
Cheryl was delightful. Also I hope the to rid of that idiot who was always talking about Global Warming….cant think of her name. But she annoyed me greatly! Havent seen her in awhile so maybe she got the boot..that wouldnt upset me..
Well, Dave, sure wish I knew what station you were on! You are STILL THE BEST no matter what TWC and NBC thinks! They have made a big mistake letting these fine ppl go!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Well I finally went on the Internet to find out where in the world Dave Schwartz went. I knew something had changed at the weather channel (no, I don’t watch it 24 hours a day) but I couldn’t put my finger on it. First that silly show with Abrams shouting and her side-kick (what’s his name), I always turned it when they came on. Now, Al Roker with a silly morning show with celebs and news- which is one reason I watched the TWC to escape the news. It seems the whole new TWC-NBC is just dripping with fake, even Conan (another loser) telling me he gets up every morning with AL! Well Conan that may be- but that dosen’t make your show any better, Dave is dusting you big time!
Anyway, being a Hoosier, people think we don’t like changes in anyway- hey I’m for changes, if they are better! Dave Schwartz was the best, when he would tell you “This is serious my friend” you knew the weather was getting ready to blow your house away.
I really like Jim C. too, are you going to take him away also? What about Vivian? One of the most attractive women on TV with a soft interesting voice. I know what you guys are trying to do, but this icky-cutesy Hollywood stuff is overboard. I will never watch Al Roker and Abrams and the gang. I will never understand why you guys think Steph A. is so great. Please bring Dave back, or tell me where I might watch him. You guys are making some big mistakes!!!!!
August 26th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Some things are left better unchanged so since they got rid of the people I enjoyed watching like the old friends they’d become over the years, now I just tune into a local station for the weather. Compare it to a holiday gathering… do you like seeing the same faces each year or would you rather feel uncomfortable trying to make pleasant conversation with strangers you had nothing in common with?
September 5th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
We haven’t seen Dave Schwartz lately and wondered what happened. Now there’s just this moronic al roker crap and his boring idiots and it is all just so irritating that we no longer watch twc. We decided to check online to see what happened to Dave and just found this out. Un “f”ing-believable.
DAVE WAS THE ONLY REASON WE WATCHED TWC. Dave, you will be missed and never forgotten! As far as twc and nbc, they can go drop dead. I wonder if those clueless losers know how many viewers they lost, esp. a large group like us.
Too bad….
September 9th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
HEY JIM C. I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME YOU PUT YOUR RESUME IN WITH THE NWS…BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
THAT NBC CROWS IS A BUNCH OF VULTURES!!!
September 10th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Dave Schwartz had a remarkable talent for giving expert weather information, while making it so entertaining. More fun than stand-up comedy! How can a company spend $3.5B for the Weather Channel and then immediately demonstrate that they don’t understand how the property became so valuable? Better question….why do I still hold my GE stock?
September 13th, 2009 at 10:33 am
I miss Dave Schwartz. I miss is stylish, yet concerned and trusted delivery. He, like me, had a fascination and awe of weather and its life threatening strength.
Heidi whatshername has a whinning delivery and an irrating voice. If she is on I switch channels or put it on mute till the local radar comes on.
The other day I turned it on, use to watch it daily, there was a platinum blond “floosy” in tight white pants giving me the weather. EEK!!!
They chat and gigle at each other and talk about sports and other stuff while I am being blown away.
Hollywood and New York producers are so out of it.
They put on sex gel, condom and viagra ads on at 6pm so our kids can see them and now they have destroyed the weather channel.
I think they got Al Roker to try to add some affability but he is a babbling fool.
Miss you Dave–good luck, my friend.
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:27 am
So, NBC, let me make sure I understand this: You fire Dave Schwartz who was OBVIOUSLY an experienced meteorologist who showed how much he cared about his job and doing it well (plus, he was fun to watch!) and treated viewers like neighbors….THEN, you have me “Wake Up with Al” as some sort of wharped and annoying consolation prize?? What’s next–coming to my front door in person to stick pins in my eye as you tell me the chances for precipitation the day??? This was a BAD move, NBC….very very very very BAD move. And get that irritating Al Roker OFF my screen…OH, WAIT–I have a channel-change button, and can do it MYSELF! BOO HISS BOO HISS on NBC’s bad decisions!!
September 27th, 2009 at 6:55 am
BRING BACK DAVE SCHWARTZ!!! He had been on TWC for quite a while, and I could really tell that he enjoyed his job, and he knew how to present the weather without all the unnecessary dramatics. He has a great personality, and I really enjoyed watching him…TWC is definitely NOT the same now!!!
September 30th, 2009 at 11:15 am
It’s heartwarming to read some of your comments re: my firing from The Weather Channel. That you detected my passion for the drama of weather and how much I enjoyed telling you about it lets me know that I reaching my goal.
FYI…I worked a temporary job at CBSAtlanta this summer as a fill-in weathercaster. I’m currently seeking a permanent job doing tv weather in Atlanta. CNN’s here, too; if I can get on with them, I just might see you again. Be well, my friend. Dave
October 2nd, 2009 at 2:42 pm
TWC has a new vibe now – cuttin’ up and goofin’ around. Dave is the pioneer of this. He started it. But now that he’s gone, the remaining and new people can’t pull it off as well – trying too hard. Dave had it naturally. I could watch Dave give the same forecast for hours. He was improvising. It was real.
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Remember the days of the real Weather Channel? When they used to stick to the weather? I can’t believe they would get rid of two of the best personalities they had. Dave Schwartz and Cheryl Lemke were always great and are missed. As are Mark Mancuso, Christina Abernathy and Jeanetta Jones. Oh well, once again someone without a brain swoops in to fix what isn’t broken. Goodbye Weather Channel.
October 8th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
GE/NBC — how could you be so foolish as to destroy one of best and most helpful and interesting channels on TV … and how dare you call Al Roker “America’s favorite weather man” when America’s favorite weather man (and men) (and women) has ALWAYS been on the Weather Channel. Where can America go from here to find real weather news with real people!!?
October 15th, 2009 at 1:10 am
I remember all of the recently departed personalities and sorry that they had to take it in the shorts for NBC. I quit watching the weather channel several years ago when they started showing Storm Stories, etc. If I want to watch history, I’ll tune to the History Channel. I want to see “LIVE” weather, not taped history. They need to rename it “The Weather History Channel”. HINT: You can get much more weather information via several websites on the net; Weatherunderground.com being my favorite.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:32 am
Its to bad they had to let these good people go but NBC had to make cuts somewhere to pay Al Rokers salary.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:10 am
Weather Channel is on the bubble. Most watched program when we’re in the bars.Bout to say “not today” bartender, “Leave it to Beaver is fine”.
October 28th, 2009 at 3:52 am
WAS GREAT TO GET MESSAGE FROM YOU DAVE.. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND THE OTHERS WHO GOT AXED. WAS SO UNFAIR.. BTW. IM SICK OF THE ADS FOR AL ROKER.. HES OK.. BUT TWC IS RUNNING IT INTO THE GROUND WITH ALL THERE GOOD MORNINGS WILL AL… CANTORI, YOU ARE GREAT.. BUT I REALLY MISS THE OLDS TIMERS. AND WISH THEM ALL THE BEST….YOU ARE ALL OLDIES, BUT GOODIES…. MY FAVORITES
October 31st, 2009 at 11:47 am
Biggest Mistake ever. NBC proves how much of a toilet company they are. Dave was the best and I simply can’t watch TWC anymore because all of its programming is junk. They also have some dinky meteorologists there too. Al Roker? That’s a joke right? Not to mention there’s an annoying ad about him every 5 seconds. They must be getting desperate. And don’t even get me started with Stephanie Abrams. If that’s what NBC wants, so be it. But they won’t see me watching it anymore.
November 2nd, 2009 at 8:42 am
I have wondered what had happened to all my favorites. Now I know. BIIIGGG MISTAKE!!! I use to love watching twc, I had it on all day just about I was mesmerized by it. I really miss Cheryl, Dave and Sharon. My husband always teased me about twc being my favorite show. I hate the am show with Al Roker, I didn’t like him on the Today show either. It has changed so much you can hardly believe it is the twc.Then I see they are going to show movies, how crazy is that. I miss Jeanetta & Cristina also.
November 3rd, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Dave was the man, he came up with some zingers and jokes that were hilarious. i love watching him on TWC, it has changed so much that i don’t watch it anymore, Sorry New TWC, but thats why i stopped watching the todays show, Al Roker is a putts, he lowers the IQ of all that listens or watches him. Bad move NBC. To give you an idea how long i have been watching i use to watch it when Cam was on. we are talking 89-90. i deleted TWC channel from my favorites, good luck to you dave, you were the best.
November 12th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
It seems NBC had to get rid of the veterans in order to afford the ridiculous addition of AL “I’m not a meteorologist but I play one on TV” Roker. What a pathetic waste. TWC has forgotten it’s mission… PROFESSIONAL weather coverage. We don’t need a fake mixed in with the professionals on TWC. I cannot believe that Stephanie Abrams agreed to play second fiddle to that meteorologist wannabe. Dave, Cheryl, and Eboni are already missed. Cheryl was the face of TWC and has been for a very long time. Al “the joke” Roker could have learned some REAL humor from Dave Schwartz, and Eboni was just wonderful to watch and was extremely professional. NBC sucks.
November 16th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
NBC is totally wrecking THE WEATHER CHANNEL.The final straw after getting rid of those great Meteorologists,happened with the introduction of Storm Stories and NOW feature length movies!!!You can get more weather information from the Internet of local TV stations.I only wish someone would start up a new Weather Channel and give us back what we have lost.I hope the person or persons that made those decisions lose their jobs REAL SOON !!!
