Meteorologist Dave Warren doesn't seem long for NBC10

POSTED: Monday, August 20, 2012, 7:44 AM

We have to question whether meteorologist Dave Warren is long for NBC 10. The station has been running promos for its weather team: Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz, Sheena Parveen, Bill Henley and Michelle Grossman, but Warren is conspicuously absent from the spots.

Furthermore, the station is advertising for an open meteorologist position.

A station spokeswoman declined to comment on whether Warren is leaving.

Warren did not return a request for comment. We reported recently that Warren and his wife, Alison Frick, who sells real estate, are expecting twins around Christmas.

On Friday, NBC 10's Terry Ruggles, who started as a general-assignment reporter in 1974, announced he would retire from the station in December. Ruggles received a standing ovation when news director Anzio Willliams announced his departure in a morning meeting. Until recently, Ruggles had been morning news anchor, but was recently transfered back to reporting.

    Michelle's pregnant so they may need him around when she leaves on maternity.

    Dave Warren has the on-camera presence and personality of a doorknob. Seems like a nice guy, but is b-o-r-i-n-g.

    Also, congrats to Terry!

    Stop already...you know an attractive blonde with a victoria secret aided body is around the corner, or a beautiful black women with a great smile is the next weather person....It is the media's infatuation with good looking plastic headed people whose only ability is to read someone else's copy that works in this industry......sorry Dave....but you just aren't a good looking young woman.....

    Michelle Grossman is bad. Dave was perfect. It is about reporting the weather, not entertainment. Broadcast journalism--and I use that term loosely--is a joke. It is all about appearances. Grossman gives me the creeps. Please!

    Perhaps DAve was too much of a WASP for the current NBC10 layout.

    I have been watching Dave for years....I think he is the best meteorologist that the station has. His good looks, presence and intelligence surpass any of the meteorologist in the Philly area.........Big Mistake. What kind of employer replaces someone right before they are about to have TWINS??????

    Did they give Ruggles a standing ovation because it was announced he was leaving? Did they hate him that much that there was applause when they found out he woldn't be around much longer?

    I love watching Dave Warren! It's terrible that NBC would do this while his wife is pregnant with twins. Hopefully it's not true...?
