anchorman 93 Posted July 19, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellyGenic 32 Posted July 19, 2010 Share 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.

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted August 28, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsWatcher 6 Posted August 29, 2010 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazynetjunkie 34 Posted August 29, 2010 Share 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..

TellyGenic 32 Posted September 1, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted September 1, 2010 Share 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 32 Posted September 1, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njlady 1 Posted September 2, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.wer 12 Posted September 2, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 222 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 John Marshall is in a new promo for the WCBS Weather Team. I guess he has been hired full time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TellyGenic 32 Posted December 23, 2010 Share 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!

TellyGenic 32 Posted December 28, 2010 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
