qwertywcbs 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Well in this day of new weather systems, sets, graphics, and music, why not through in the newest talent? Lonnie is debuting now on CBS 2 News at 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNews 54 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Yup. Seems John only does 5pm. Did he do the 12pm newscast? I find it funny how he said, "My friend, John....." I bet John thinks otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsWatcher 6 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I feel bad for Bolaris..He's the man..I feel like he's real good at what he does. And this new dude looks very Sam Championish.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertywcbs 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 "Our world is changing here at CBS 2 and we would like to welcome Lonnie Quinn here" announces Dana Tyler before weather. Looks like we have a new 6 and 11pm meteorologist! Seems to be channeling a Bill Evans like tone. He seems serious and not that much a "goofball" as John Elliott, and even as John Bolaris has been. "You heard my friend John Bolaris telling you it's going to get mess tonight and tomorrow" Lonnie said during weather... friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet John thinks otherwise. John Elliot did the weather at noon. I guess Bolaris will eventually end up on weekends since they need a meteorologist.

I think John B. is too good for only weekends, but yea, they do need a meterologist for the weekends. WCBS is not efficient. Wasting money will all these hirings and firings. They have the potential to be the best, but it seems like they choose not to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertywcbs 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 I stand corrected from an earlier post. Tonight Dana referred to Lonnie at 11:06 for the weather headlines as "CBS 2 weatherman Lonnie Quinn." I guess he's not a meteorologist, just another face.

It's throw, not through. I mean c'mon that's not even close, it's really off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's throw, not through. I mean c'mon that's not even close, it's really off. Wow, I'm sorry. I must have been really tired and I missed that. Usually I'm pretty good with spelling and using the words the right way. They always say you think faster than you write/type.... Yeah, I meant "throw". and I agree with you, he does not seem to be that bad. I don't know if he'll loosen up when he feels more comfortable or what, but so far he's done a good job. But I feel my idea about tagging up the weather anchor with the anchor teams now is a good idea. John could use more air time, and why not put him on at noon with Chris? Get rid of Elliott in that time period. I'm going to feel bad when John has to fill in for Lonnie. And, at the end of the 11 o'clock news, Lonnie did a Bolaris wave!

cbs2idiots 21 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Lonnie Quinn is not bad at all. He is a good and refreshing addition to CBS2. He is sure better than that goof ball John Elliot. I hope John Bolaris will eventually do the weather at noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in WCBS' defense, things do need to be changed from time to time to make it more appealing to the viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wxman2106 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 The man's Presentation is far from good. Sorry, agreed that wcbs needs something fresh but bolaris really does have a great presentation. Whether it's the nerves against him on his first day in market 1 ..im still a bit nervous.

SuitSnob 19 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Damn...I thought we got rid of Sam Champion! Is this guy even a meteorologist? If that was his best suit he pulled out for his first day, we are in BIG trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username23 1 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Lonnie was not a meteorologist when he worked at WTVJ in Miami, however, online at http://wcbstv.com/video/[email protected] it says that he is a "CBS 2 Meteorologist, so he may have been certified between the time he left TVJ and now, but the super did not have the AMS seal. In any cast, I like him, I thought he was good in Miami and he's good now. I have hope that he will do good things here, dress code aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colortini 76 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 It is definitely a mistake to demote Bolaris. His delivery is great and there's no question he should be the chief meteorologist. I cannot understand why nobody ever has to work their way up the ladder, especially at this station. Lonnie has the potential to be good but he definitely should've been the weekend guy until he paid his dues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ib-td 1 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I stand corrected from an earlier post. Tonight Dana referred to Lonnie at 11:06 for the weather headlines as "CBS 2 weatherman Lonnie Quinn." I guess he's not a meteorologist, just another face. I am not sure he is a met. The only education I could find on him was a certificate in met. (that means he read a pamphlet on the way to NBC6 in Miami, took a test and passed) As far as a degree in met from a college, have not found any evidence. In either case he is still a boob more interested in his make-up and jumping around on a stage than delivering content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civic110 10 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 He seemed like he talked really fast, jumped and pointed an awful lot. One thing he kept saying and I couldn't understand: Sunday's storm could be the worst of the winter?? It's spring! I don't know if he meant worst than anything we've seen this winter, but then again he wasn't here for our winter?? I love Bolaris, and as long as he's still there in some capacity...I guess that's better than Roz's fate of not appearing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canitgetanyworse 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 He talked alot and said very little. But he fits in very well with the new society channel 2 is developing- more sparkle/less substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossphan 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Bolaris is NYC's best meteorologist. His style is the best in the city. Say what you want about him...partied in Philly, the girlfriend, the kid, etc. He was born and raised in the market, rarely takes a day off, loves WCBS (he buried his father in a WCBS t-shirt) and has a passion for his job. He even changed his routine a little and doesn't go casual anymore. Reminds me of Fox 5, Nick Gregory and that other guy who name escapes me right now. Nick was wrongfully demoted, stuck it out and is now back on top. Hope the same thing happens for Bolaris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civic110 10 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 How about Storm Field? Wonder if he is still looking for postion?? I'd take him over the bumbling fools on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2news 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I would move John Bolaris to weekday mornings and Noon. Use Lonnie at 5,6, and 11 Weekedays. Move John Elliott to Weekend Mornings and have Liz Carrothers on Weekend Evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistroh 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I would move John Bolaris to weekday mornings and Noon. Use Lonnie at 5,6, and 11 Weekedays. Move John Elliott to Weekend Mornings and have Liz Carrothers on Weekend Evenings. Pleeeze..you've gotta be kidding me! 1. I respect that JB is a New York kid but sorry, I've never found his delivery or his message nearly as smooth and listenable as Lee Goldberg, Janice Huff, Nick, Cimino, etc etc. Always found him a little stiff and cold. 2. Keep Liz Carothers on weekends? Pleeeze, again...she's a breathless puffball whose weather knowledge you could fit on a pinhead (you should'a seen her at TNH in New Haven...doesn't know basic weather..we viewers know it..) 3. Lonnie Quinn's a prettyface. That's fine, whatever..but now, why can't they for once hire someone who's from the NYC area, attractive, AND a knowledgable metorologist with a smooth style?? Is the talent pool really THAT thin out there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
