shorewx 1 Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Hearing he is NO longer with WNBC... Contract wasn't renewed
anchorman 99 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Wow. Another one bits the dust. Hopefully he ends up with one of the other locals. Best of luck to him.
TellyGenic 33 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 His bio is gone fromt he WNBC web page. Well, that was fast. Just last weekend he did the morning shows with Pat Battle. And no send-off or farewell. This Domenica chick who replaced him this weekend really needs to step it up - she doesn't have that extra sparkle to get the information across.
NYNews 55 Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 John Marshall has resurfaced on WCBS this morning.
ProButtonPusher 230 Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 John Marshall has resurfaced on WCBS this morning. Wow...I wonder how he got past that non-compete (They're usually 6 months)...unless that was part of his deal leaving WNBC.
TVNewsWatcher 6 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 With NYC i'm pretty sure, non compete's are out with window...with Gov Paterson's rights to work act...
lazynetjunkie 34 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 With NYC i'm pretty sure, non compete's are out with window...with Gov Paterson's rights to work act... Non-competes are out the window at many stations/markets now. Just makes it easier and "friendlier" for both parties when it comes time for management to fire/lay-off people, especially when the talent wants to take an offer from another at the same time his/her current station wants to make some talent cuts. It just works out better and both parties are happy. I've seen it happen a couple times already. The few that I know that still have non-competes are only 1 or 2 months at the most..

Guess that hasn't happened in smaller markets...
j.wer 12 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Does anyone no if he is regular Weekend morning meteorlogist of just freelancer.
rah6448 21 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I wonder the same thing!! I'm glad he landed among the locals, much like anchorman93 stated.
TellyGenic 33 Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Did Rob Morrison say anything like "welcome to our new weatherman...." ??
nynewslover 282 Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Did Rob Morrison say anything like "welcome to our new weatherman...." ?? Yes... And John noted how he and Rob worked together for years.. And how he and Cindy have been friends for a while
j.wer 12 Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 So are John Marshall and Cindy Hsu the confirmed weekend anchors??
TellyGenic 33 Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 So are John Marshall and Cindy Hsu the confirmed weekend anchors?? A quick check of the WCBS-TV website shows neither one of them listed as working the weekend shift. Marshall's name isn't anywhere. yet.... http://newyork.cbslocal.com/station/cbs-2/ Maybe the official announcement hasn't happened yet.
nynewslover 282 Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 So are John Marshall and Cindy Hsu the confirmed weekend anchors?? Not sure about Cindy...but it's a pretty good bet that John is the new weather guy since Megan moved to Chicago...plus it usually takes a while to get the new bio up online..
TellyGenic 33 Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 More details from today's Media Bistro Fishbowl: Meteorologist John Marshall Finds Work at WCBS By Jerry Barmash on Sep 01, 2010 04:29 PM John Marshall is back on the air in New York. The veteran meteorologist has turned up on WCBS/Channel 2 last weekend, doing weather forecasts on the morning newscasts. He is reunited with anchor Rob Morrison. "He and I started about same time at peacock. Great guy. Psyched he's on board," Morrison told FishbowlNY via Twitter. Marshall's status with WCBS, however, is uncertain. "He is just filling in until they find a replacement," A WCBS spokesperson said. Last month, WNBC didn't renew Marshall's contract. Marshall spent the past 12 years as weather anchor at Channel 4 http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/tv/meteorologist_john_marshall_finds_work_at_wcbs_172497.asp
njlady 1 Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 I hope they keep John Marshall - I always thought he did a good job. The new girl on WNBC is not nearly as good!
j.wer 12 Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 I hope they keep John Marshall - I always thought he did a good job. The new girl on WNBC is not nearly as good! I think that is being kind. Rather than give John Marshall a raise, they probably got DD on the cheap.
IceManNYR 247 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 John Marshall is in a new promo for the WCBS Weather Team. I guess he has been hired full time?
SuitSnob 19 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 He's been subbing on The Early Show this week.
TellyGenic 33 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Well, whaddaya know? Marshall gets the ax from WNBC (probably for earning too much money), but lands on his feet at WCBS AND gets to sub on the national broadcast. Good for him!
njlady 1 Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 That is great for him!! I hope he is at CBS permanently
TellyGenic 33 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 He was out in the field all thru the blizzard, up to his hips in snow in Hazlet, NJ. I noticed he "borrowed" his former WNBC colleague Brian Thompson's gimmick of sticking a yardstick into the snow drifts to measure height - John called it the "Marshallmeter".
Smarmy777 0 Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 So he gets dropped for Katie Fehlinger. She didn't even last six months. She's being moved down to Philly because she is awful. I hope the give the job to the veteran John Marshall.
