As part of a wave of staff cuts at CBS-owned stations across the country, weather forecaster personality Paul Douglas from the Twin Cities' WCCO has been let go.
I've never been a big Paul Douglas fan--I want the science and facts behind the weather, not the poetry--it strikes me as an odd move. I imagine that Douglas himself drives a portion of the audience to WCCO. He probably costs them a lot of money and I'm sure the network has looked at their market research closely. Still, it's strange. I know they still will have weather, as they have weather forecasters who are paid less than Douglas.
My preferred weather forecaster is Keith Marler on the Fox 9 morning show. He's upbeat, but gets to the point. I like that.
