johnnyc 0 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Oh Jill Nicollini would be a great replacement for Linda Church. You thought you had trouble hearing/understanding her in the copter, wait until she tries to tell you the 5 day forecast. She can hardly be heard. What a voice.

Harry Houdini 0 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Maybe, but her body more than makes up for it. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizOz 3 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 There was an article in the New York Papers recently about New York News and Weather women 50 or approaching 50 and age discrimination and how only some eg. Kaity Tong, Sue Simmons, Rosanna Scotto are kept around. Could Linda Church be on the slide to the door. Jill Nicolini is a good 20 years younger with a drop dead body and a Playboy pictorial too. Is she be the heir apparent? Linda is getting older and is divorced. Jill is younger and single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canitgetanyworse 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I agree with you Wiz. But what a sad commentary that is, if that is how station managers choose their on-air talent. Murrow, Bradley, Grimsby must be rolling in their graves. Nicollini can't hold a candle to Church's on-camera presence and comparitive knowledge. She is just eye-candy and fantasy material for the young male demo (a la the Playboy spread). And yet, you may be right, just for those reasons. >:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizOz 3 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Since it was originally stated that this was linda's decision, has she changed her mind ? She did not look her usual happy, bubbley, self this morning is it her personal life or the move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moshewx 19 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Wiz-- Couldn't agree with you more. The article you are referring to was published over a year ago. That's why we don't have the likes of Michele Marsh on the air anymore. She was replaed with the younger Lynda Baquero. In 1990, Pat Harper was replaced with the younger Dawn Fratangelo. Unfortunately, this is the case in this business. I'm more than glad that Sue Simmons is still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the people there was overheard saying that Joe was going to be on weekends through the middle of the month now. Maybe they just haven't been able to find a replacement. Couldn't agree with you more; Linda didn't have her stuff. I'll bet it's a combination of all of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Houdini 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I thought it was Pat Harper's choice to go. I seem to remember she moved to Spain and later on, died there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Houdini 0 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Since the story is a year old, I would guess she's staying put. Glad to see she cut her bangs. That twitch was giving me a twitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizOz 3 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Linda, was at her best this morning, with an extremely revealing, tight fitting, off the shoulder pink top. She was also happy and with a big smile. Good to see her, with the good attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Houdini 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Richard Huff Reports: ...more from New York and Richard Huff at the Daily News: Changing climates Joe Cioffi won't be without a weathercasting job for long. Cioffi, weekend weatherman for WPIX/ Ch.11, will jump to WNBC/Ch. 4 as a freelancer when his Ch. 11 contract expires later this month. Cioffi was left without a spot at Ch.11 when morning weathercaster Linda Church told station execs she wanted to leave when her contract was up. In an effort to keep her, Ch. 11 brass dangled Cioffi's job, which, at the time, he was still in. A Ch.4 spokeswoman confirmed Cioffi will join the station as a backup next month. Cioffi has been with Ch.11 since 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizOz 3 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Goes to show, Linda Church still has a marketable product at her age in local Weather and can dictate the terms. I would still like her to stay on in the morning news and hope she continues to entertain on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizOz 3 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Linda, still on this morning, was smoking hot with a skin tight off the shoulder red top that was very revealing. She has a way of getting your attention for an older weather girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canitgetanyworse 0 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 This was Cioffi's last weekend at CW. He starts freelancing next weekend at NBC4 Morning production crew member says CW11 is in a total state of confusion as to how to fill their weather shifts and Mr G is only making things worse. He is the epitomy of a psychotic male diva. Should be interesting to see who and what pops up over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
