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.

...I don't know how many times severe weather came rolling through southeast Texas here, and when I turned to The Weather Channel to find out what was going on, a &%#* Storm Stories segment was on instead...

I agree with ya, I don't know how many goldarn times I tuned in for the latest weather, and they had "Storm Stories" on instead! So now I just get on the internet for weather.

I'm with you regarding storm stories. It is the most idiotic thing to do in the evening hours, especially during the spring and summer seasons when all the severe weather outbreaks occur between 3 pm to 10 pm.

How stupid are they anyway. Why show old storm stories when current weather torandos and hurricanes are happening right now!????
