#1 I feel a heat wave. The weather channel becomes politicized? The NPR of the weather business? Once I read that NBC was involved, that explained a lot. After all, NBC has such luminaries as Chris "I Feel A Tingling Up My Leg When I Think of Obama" Matthews, and Ed "South End of the Horse" Schultz of the Mr. Ed show, and Rachel Maddow of the Madcow Show.

#2 For many organizations, employing a military reservist is no problem because there is sufficient flexibility within the organization to accommodate the reservist. For other organizations, it is a hardship. I wouldn't judge the Weather Channel without knowing the innards, i.e., number and scheduling of the on-air workers, etc.

#3 lord garth -- according to the article, she has worked for the Weather Channel from 2004 through 2011 and she had been in the Reserves the entire time, having enlisted when she was 17 years old.

After all those years, now it becomes and "internal" scheduling problem? I think not. She had her own show, Monday-Friday 7 - 10 am.

I think they knew her work schedule.

They're still pushing MMGW. Nuff said.

Yokay, I'll bite, - not to argue that Femme Anchors can't have a bad hair day on live TV, but isn't it usually the Male Anchors whom are mandated to have Regular to Crew Cuts before appearing on-camera - UNLESS SHE'S A BALDIE WHOM HAD A WIG FALL OFF ON LIVE TV, I DON'T KNOW OF ANY NEWS BABES THAT HAVE JOB-THREATENING HAIR PROBS???
