Meteorologist Dave Warren doesn't seem long for NBC10
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.
I can understand the need to bring in a hot bimbo to get people to tune in, but to keep them watching, you need the quality weather forecast that Dave provides.— Ray Jingwood
Seriously, Why do you need 5 weather people at 1 tv station??? Seems like a good place to cut payroll. Keep the hot chick Sheena. Only reason I watch Nbc10 for.— tiger- Who's Dave Warren? Never noticed he was even here......— tiger
- Our family has been watching Dave since he started on the air...He is absolutely amazing at his profession and deserves much more than this station has done to him. I agree that it's pretty sad that the station decided to replace him right before he expecting twins. Their LOSE!!! He is going to do an excellent job for someone else!!!!!— Amy71379
- What a shame if true. Philadelphia has been fortunate to have experienced meteorolgists like Hurricane and Dave Warren to turn to when the tough weather calls need to be made. NBC10 should rethink this one, Hurricane's going to want to retire someday, who's going to be qualified to fill the void?— Highlander416
- Take note of the complexion of the news director, Anzio Williams. Let's just say, the next forecaster will not be a blue-eyed WASP.— mel-b
- WOW, real classy NBC. I've watched Dave and I think he does just as good as the other meteorologists. If you're a station looking for ratings, why would you want to make yourself look bad by letting someone go when you know his wife is pregnant with twins?— vhfan5150
- 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...?— RubyLizard
- 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?— llkewlbean
- 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??????— smaia
- ^^ this— Echo
- Why do they have anyone but Sheena do the weather anyway?
- Can he handle then 8th inning slot ?— NewMick314
- Who? Does anyone watch NBC10?— RedPatriot 81
- When are they getting rid of the loser with the bow tie? Now that that's the one that has to go.— Joe Pyne
- the next person for the weather will be a woman for sure but maybe not an AA but Spanish or Muslim decked out in full gear This here way 10 will get more people watching them— RichH
- Perhaps DAve was too much of a WASP for the current NBC10 layout.— Susanxxx
- 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!— Susanxxx

- 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.....— nuggett
- 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!— The Baron - Michelle's pregnant so they may need him around when she leaves on maternity.— Phillies2008WSChamps
