As time passes, I think Phil will be let go. So Troy should take weekend evenings and become an official employee, while Cheryl is doing weekend mornings, as well as working behind the scenes with the weather team during the week, just as Troy does.
Now that he's been here a year, they should really make him an "official employee" of ABC. He has a good future here. They could easily be trying him out while Phil is off for these few weeks. With Cheryl Scott expected to join the team, you can tell they're going on the younger side.
On Monday, Phil Schwarz posted that he's not going to be on ABC 7 for a few days. It's not clearly stated why, but I was wondering if anyone has seen anything
Looks like I'm switching to WGN.
As we discussed in October, the other weather personalities should be pretty pissed about this decision. ESPECIALLY CAPLAN!!! He's much better than her, he deserves to be called "chief."
Paul Konrad's Facebook post from February:
"Was fired yesterday from WGN's Thanksgiving Day Parade Coverage. They want to go in a different direction... I tried to tell them to just match me up with a professional...not Robin Baumgarten and it will be a zillion times better. They said "No Thanks" @WGNRobin and I hold the record for most firings from Parade Coverage in Chicago Television history (3). Numbers can be misleading..."
But now that I recall, when Mark announced that she was moving to the mornings on the very last 5pm newscast, she noted that she would be seen in Investigations.
