$TORMY WEATHER (The Weather Channel sued by Former Anchor who Claims She was Fired for Age)
New York Post ^ | January 7, 2005 | TODD VENEZIA

A storm of controversy has engulfed The Weather Channel, after a 40-something former anchor accused network brass of washing her out of a high-ranking job to make way for a hot front of sexy young weatherwomen.

Marny Stanier Midkiff, 42, this week filed a lawsuit claiming she was booted in the fall of 2003 as part of a reputed "reorganization" of the storm channel, which she believes was really an excuse to get more young female weathercasters on the air.

Say what you will about the morality of the "Naked News" folks, but at least there's no pretense about what they're doing.

Sexy young weatherwomen on TWC? Where? I mean the women I've seen are all very professional, intelligent, and knowledgable. But I wouldn't, thankfully, call any of them pin-up material.

The Weather Channel should be able to hire and fire anybody they want to.

Sorry old lady.

Unless the job requires the weatherbabe to wear a skimpy bikini or thong, I don't think age should be a factor.

If she got her job because she was a hottie, how can she complain when she's fired for not being a hottie?

Not only are the temperatures plunging, but so are the necklines.

I don't recognize her name. I always thought it was nice that they kept right on reporting the weather right thru preganancies though. There was one, one time that looked like it was hard for her to even move and she kept rubbing her back. I was wondering if she was in labor. I didn't see her again for a couple of months. No one said anything but I thought it would have been cool to show us the baby that we waited on for 5-6 months:')

Does anyone have a picture of this lady they can post, I don't recognize the name? I have been watching the Weather Channel for a long, long time and wherever the wife and I stopped in our travels, the weather channel not only kept us informed of weather conditions, but all those familiar faces, was like a touch of home.
