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

Posted on 01/07/2005 2:34:24 PM PST by nickcarraway

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.

For quite sometime, it's been clear to me that the weather channel has been pressuring the women to have a certain look, BUT NOT THE MEN. Some of the women are looking almost skeletal that used to be average in weight. As an older woman, I think this kind of thing is really, really wrong. I don't expect the meterologist to look like a train wreck, but I don't turn to the channel to see a "hottie" giving the weather. In my opinion, a lot of people will find their weather information in other places.

....how far apart ARE her eyes?

Ever see the new one Nicole Mitchell? She'd break your binoculars.

I miss Jill Brown, big time.

If Terry Connelly's switch was to sex up the weathercasts with hot babes, then why is Jim Cantore on every five minutes? I think the TWC ought to be re-named the Cantore Channel.

Alexandra Steele, though, IS HOT!!!

Maybe it just proves that being a weathercaster is not a very difficult job...so why not hire some tart that at least looks good while she's reading a teleprompter?

I remember one weather girl in Houston that the local guys referred to as "Miss Cold Front".

I watch the Weather Channel all the time. I read the articles. Storm Stories comes in first for my favourite program.

Don't get me wrong. I think they're very attractive, but so is Ms. Midkiff. Her suit makes it sound like they're trying to replace her with Playboy bunny types, though, and I wouldn't call anyone on TWC bunnyesque.

I can only think of how Cliff on "Cheers" was in love with the gal on the Weather Channel and kept writing her letters. Anybody remember that?
