Todd Gross: Firing a complete surprise
By adamg on Tue, 12/06/2005 - 3:22pm
Todd Gross speaks about his firing by WHDH:
... As is normal, I was given notice, given time to collect things, and then invited back next week [to take care of personal business]. This happened just prior to the 4pm newscast and was not very dramatic as reported. ...
Via Mark, who says the whole affair makes him a bit nervous about anonymous blog comments.
Amy, meanwhile, hopes Channel 7 makes Pete Bouchard its chief meteorologist:
... Because he rules, and I can actually enjoy watching him if he's on the evening news instead of the morning show. And, while he holds less esteem in my heart, I do hope that things are okay with Todd.

Todd's Arrows
Dude was fired because he drew the BEST arrows on the screen and no one could compete with him!
seriously -- i loved his weather system arrows that he'd put up on the board. they were awesome.
I'm a Kevin Lemanowicz fan personally. Todd was an okay guy though. I used to wait on him at Au Bon Pain and he was a great guy.
Why Todd is out at Ch. 7
Watching the 11 o'clock news tonight on "The News Station" I figured out why Todd was let go: He couldn't handle the utterly awful seque to weather that the anchor crew throws at him. Tonight, the piece before the weather was about a guy who did his outside Christmas decorations with a Paris Hilton theme. Then "kat" throws it to Pete Bouchard with, "Well Pete, I tell you, if you dress like Paris Hilton you're in trouble tonight..." Wha???
Does anyone know why?
Woah, I love todd? Why did WHDH let him go? Anyone know? Just ccurious... No longer am I a big Ch 7 fan!
Todd got frauded, faked and screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't understand what happened here. Todd Gross is GREAT! Maybe Catarina Bandini had something to do with it? Guess in the game of politics, noone will ever really know, "except Todd that is" He brought life, facts and personality to Channel 7. I will continue to follow him to any network that would have the smarts to grab him fast!
....listening to Todd's weather reports gave personality...fun
....listening to Todd explain what he did wrong..not fun
....seeing him pulled out of his element doing what he does best....APPAULING!
What justifies such hard-ass action on a guy who dedicated 17 YEARS OF HARD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE WILL NO BE VIERES OF CHANNEL 7!!!
Pete Douchard is a friggin
Pete Douchard is a friggin MORON!!!!!!!!!!!
