Does anyone know whatever happened to Mike McGuire, who was chief meterologist prior to 1993? I remembered they said he went to a station in St. Louis, but other than that I'm not sure. I tried Googling his name but came up with noting.76.177.160.69 (talk) 22:46, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "I Gotta Pay for this?"
Maybe the sub-headline isn't the best, but this incident should be included. Somebody removed it deeming it "innapropriate content", without elaborating any further. However, if you refer to the KRON wiki page, you'll see it does include a similar reference to their "Bub Rubb" incident. I would never have heard about this station or visited it's page without the seeing Chrisos story. I heard about it on a Sacramento station for goodness sakes! I moved the section down to try and appease the person who thinks it's innapropriate; however, as someone who works in local news and reads wikipedia, I can tell you it's more appropriate to include the bit about the Chrisos story than it is to include that vanity section about the past personalities.--Anchorlady (talk) 15:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- It was removed per WP:C as the video from the station is copyrighted and should also be removed from You Tube, it is also unencylopedic, and is not appropriate for a serious enclyopedia. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 01:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

- It's very encyclopedic, it's gotten the station NATIONAL ATTENTION for christsake... Also, just because the story is copyrighted doesn't mean it's not OK to write ABOUT it. If that were the case most Wikipedia articles would have to be deleted. Posting the story on YouTube may not be OK, but writing about it does not violate any copyrights. Also, please refer to the KRON page which has a similar section, a station that is about 100 markets higher and therefore the page is edited more often.--75.37.32.40 (talk) 03:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
