Jess 1110 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Other shoe, she has dropped. I'm not surprised he's suspended and probably out, I'm surprised it took this long. Bolaris and the station never seemed to be on good terms and I've seen several weathercasts that included what seem like thinly veiled barbs towards his employer. Not recently, because the quality of 29's news has declined to the point that calling it garbage would be insulting to garbage. Plus there's the already mentioned bad blood between him and Schwaid. I've always thought that he was outta there at the end of his contract. Of course they've also ousted SallyAnn Mosey, which puts them down to one meteorologist. They've been using Karen Thomas as a freelancer. And they're hiring a female weathercaster from, uh, Omaha. God, I still miss Rob Guarino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak 269 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Philly and LA must be bad markets to work in because of how the on air staff always seems to get press for his/her actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Philly and LA must be bad markets to work in because of how the on air staff always seems to get press for his/her actions. It's not just there, it's everywhere. Is it just me or does Bolaris just enjoy not having a job? He doesn't work very hard to try and keep them...

Speaking of SallyAnn, she should go back to WPVI. Or they probably have enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess 1110 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 They're doing the Bolaris story on Nightline tonight. Yup, this will be entertaining. *grabs popcorn* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 This story just REALLY got weird. It looks like the incidents were part of a Russian mafia scheme that sucked Bolaris right in. http://abcnews.go.com/US/fired-weathermans-hangover-helps-expose-rising-russian-mafia/story?id=15403767 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
