Dan Winters leaving WHO

[MJ29]

What happened to Amber Alexander. Haven't seen her in quite awhile.

She was basically pulled from on-air duties. She does a lot of digital stuff and stories. She'll fill in for other meteorologists, but doesn't have a set shift, from what I understand. She was pretty bummed about it when it happened, but it seems like she's embracing her new role as best she can.

I tried to add her FB post about it, but couldn't get it to work. It's on her page on March 20.

No Jennifer McDermed, no care.

I thought Amber did a very good job. She really likes the more techie stuff related to the weather and embraces the new.

Don't remember this one at all.

Does this jog your memory? Wait.......

Amber Alexander leaving 13. Sad to see her leave there but your mental health needs to come first.

She seemed so genuine on TV. Props to her for being that open.

Local tv news people get paid basically minimum wage (at first) to wake up at 3:00 AM daily and work 60-70 hour weeks. And if you’re a woman you will have Nancy on Facebook talking about your clothing choices nonstop. No thanks

Clothes are probably the least terrible criticism sometimes with what I read.

I know at least 2 anchors who wear wedding rings that aren't married just to try to curb the 60 year old thirst.

People will criticize the color of tie a guy is wearing too. I can’t imagine what women in TV go through.

Think of the worst things said, and that's basically Erin Kiernan's daily life I bet.

I guess I haven't seen her posts lately, but a few years ago I'd see her address social media comments. Usually from other women about her hair, clothing, make up, etc.

Ugh, I bet brutal

Not if people are continually pointing out your most miniscule physical and sartorial flaws, in public forums. It's degrading and demoralizing. Women who are public figures have a different set of rules than male public figures.

I've interacted with her in person several times. She's a very nice and genuine person. I'm glad she's staying the DSM metro. Hopefully that means I'll still see her around.

She's also been asked a few times via twitter and social media if she's pregnant. Super rude.

Look at what happened to Heidi (8) and Sonya (13). The atations made other excuses, but basically they aged out.
Molly Kooney as well...

I still see Heidi out a lot. She's an avid bicyclist.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I've had similar issues in the past and noticed right away she seemed to be struggling. She was alot better the last few years but when she started she seemed really unsure about herself, would mis-pronounce names alot or say something that disnt make much sense.

One day on the noon show she paused in the middle of her forecast and was dead air for probably 10 seconds. That's when I knew she was probably having anxiety issues because I've had similar things happen to me under pressure.

Good for her though for getting out, I can't imagine the kind of pressure you have to deal with living in a fish bowl like that.

And she was a great sports anchor. Andy Garmin? Not so much...
