Spring Rubber 705 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 In an attempt to try something different, The Weather Channel has decided to dress its male On Camera Meteorologists in just a dress shirt and tie, no jacket. It started with their coverage of Hurricane Isaac in late August, where they had the men stop wearing suits in an attempt to make the coverage seem more intense, but after the storm made landfall and dissapated, TWC decided to keep the shirt-and-tie look as its standard on-air dress code. Some of the more prominent personalities like Al Roker continue to wear suits, but it's just a dress shirt and tie for almost every other male anchor on the network. SuitSnob would be highly displeased. I guess TWC is trying to set a new trend in cable news or something? (Or did someone else try this first?)

ABC 7 Denver 1723 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Dress shirt and tie look a little goofy. How about a dark blue polo with The Weather Channel logo on it? That would be repugnant! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12144-the-weather-channel-abandons-suit-jackets/#findComment-75805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1464 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm not sure why but I always like the dressed down look. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12144-the-weather-channel-abandons-suit-jackets/#findComment-75811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1931 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 next thing you know they'll be half-sitting on the front of the anchor desk (I read that's hip and trendy and makes the kids watch).

They'll also be playing Selena Gomez and One Direction bumpers and lead-ins.

Jess 1115 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 You misspelled "during Local On The 8s". Don't laugh - they're already playing vocal tracks in some dayparts.

ABC 7 Denver 1723 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Fine *looks serious* I'm sure we may have E/I programs playing in the morning too.

Ntropolis 597 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 When I think of meteorologists not wearing their suit jackets, I think serious weather. At least that's how Don Slater does it...

At least that's how Don Slater does it... How about meteorologists carrying guns in holsters on set and a NMS badge. Then we would know that they were serious.

Honest to god, that's what I actually think. But I think of Brian Norcross' broadcasting clinic during Hurricane Andrew...
