IceManNYR 240 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 His last forecast was just now. He's now the full time weather forecaster for GMA. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/23-sam-champion-leaves-eyewitness-news/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNews 54 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 He really needs to officially come out of the closet, though everyone pretty much knows he's gay. Just out of curiosity, in what way does the reveal of his sexual orientation relevant to his job? Who cares if he is or isn't. It's his personal business, i really don't think it's any of our business.

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 He really needs to officially come out of the closet, though everyone pretty much knows he's gay. You obviously must wanna go out with him if you really want him out of the closet. I mean christ what is with you people and other people's sexuality. It's really none of your damned business.

I agree 100%. What happens on air is separate from what happens off the air. Obviously people are entitled to have some privacy. > Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/23-sam-champion-leaves-eyewitness-news/#findComment-100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 325 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Does anyone have any captures of his final broadcast? I was wondering what Diana Williams or Sade Baderwinwa were saying, or if the whole Eyewitness News Team came into the studio to give him a farewell, or something of that sort, similar to what they did with Roz Abrams. -Vlad Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/23-sam-champion-leaves-eyewitness-news/#findComment-108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

san 0 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I am very happy for Sam. As far as his sexual preference, it is none of our business and why should anyone care. - does not change how the weather is broadcast. san Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/23-sam-champion-leaves-eyewitness-news/#findComment-124 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering what Diana Williams or Sade Baderwinwa were saying, or if the whole Eyewitness News Team came into the studio to give him a farewell, or something of that sort, similar to what they did with Roz Abrams. -Vlad Diana and Sade informed viewers of his last day on Eyewitness News and said thank you to him on-air. There was no special tribute video partly because of Sam's request not make a big deal about it on-air, as he was afraid of choking up (as he slightly did when Diana and Sade were speaking about him). Also, this was just the final step in phasing him off of the local news. Remember, he's not going too far. You'll just have to wake up earlier to see him on Channel 7. On Friday's morning news, however, Steve, Lori and Bill talked about it briefly and Bill brought the life-size cardboard cutout of Sam on set and jokingly said, "THIS is Sam's last appearance." They talked about his 20 years of service to the station and joked about the infamous "He is Sam Champion..." promo/Queen parody.
