Delmar '13 Graduate/ University of Delaware '17 Graduate (with a B.S. in Meteorology/ Climatology) and former Delmar FFA Chapter President, Alex Seymore, now a WBOC Meteorologist, joins Mike Lichniak in sharing the WBOC Weather Report Card of Delmarva's 1st Winter Storm 2017 Forecasting.
Looks like WBOC is following WMDT's lead by hiring very young and very inexperienced people. Now we can all understand where Jake Day got the idea to hire young too.
Alex has a proven track record with Delmar Weather that he began, a huge following and been accurately forecasting since the 2009-2010 winter season when he called it right every single time.
ReplyDeleteSmall hillbilly stations have always been the starting grounds for young talent.
ReplyDeleteTalent?? A table leg has more talent than this moron!!
DeleteI have to hope his time with the FFA will help him. Of course, they hired him for a song, but I'll wait and see if he's any good.
ReplyDeleteIf you want old (seasoned) weatherpersons, watch big city stations like DC/Philadelphia/NYC.
ReplyDeleteWhere else is he supposed to get broadcast experience as a young TV meteorologist? Much as we hate to admit it, Salisbury is a provincial town and the local affiliates are provincial stations.
ReplyDeleteI wish him well.
Have followed Alex for years. He is usually correct in his analysis. Good luck Alex!
ReplyDeleteJust follow the NOAA weather forecasts. How difficult is that?
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who thinks Todd Carli looks like the Great Gazoo from the Flintstones?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you ! Lol
DeleteNOAA couldn’t correctly predict dark and light let alone the weather here. They are worse guessers than Satterfield
ReplyDeleteNobody is as bad as Dan Satterfeild, he is a clown, fire this poor unfortunate man that chosen a job that he is incapable of doing!
DeleteFire DAN SATERFEILD!
ReplyDeleteDelmar weather has been the most reliable for a while. Good for Alex.
ReplyDeleteHe may be a "kid" but he's got a proven track record of accurate forecasts versus that clown Satterfield, who couldn't predict whether it'll be dark tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteWBOC has been doing this for a long time, hire the fresh out of college wanna be news casters and pay them poverty wages, and as soon as the youngsters cut their teeth in the delmarva market they jump ship and move on to bigger markets and better pay. WBOC gets cheap labor and bigger profits and we get crappy service from WBOC. kylie winkler was a complete bumbling amatuer when she was first put on the air at WBOC, she couldn`t even get through 1 story without re-reading the teleprompter and verbally stumbling all over.she has gotten much better but when she is finally proficient at delivering the news she`ll leave and go to a bigger market with better pay just like sooo many of the other wboc news people have, and wboc will just hire another fresh out of college wanna be newscaster at dirt poor wages.
ReplyDeleteI must have missed that minute that she got better??!!
DeleteShe can’t even read the TelePrompTer.
No chance she will be leaving Wboc.
What moron would hire her??
dan is a complete idiot,with all the latest satellites and computers to do all the hard work of predicting the weather dan still can`t do any better at predicting the weather than weathermen did 40 years ago. maybe dan just doesn`t know how to interpret all that satellite and computer data?
ReplyDeleteYou people are ridiculous. We should be lifting up the fact that they are hiring local talent!! At this point, this new guy is just about the only local thing about WBOC! Who cares if he's young? Did everyone here start as a master of their field?! Have some humility and wish this guy well!
ReplyDeleteThank you 6:28. Agree. Don't young people need jobs too?! I've been following Alex for years on Delmar Weather. He and Hunter are awesome. And more accurate than any weatherman at WBOC. I'm excited for him and look forward to his success. Congratulations Alex!!
ReplyDeleteYou hillbillies haven’t a clue when it comes to talent. There isn’t one person at wboc with an ounce of skill !!!!
DeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteYou don't publish comments that tell the truth about military weather modification?
Why not?
Encourage discussion.
The truth does not fear analysis
Chem trails...
Delete9:12, OK, start the conversation then.
ReplyDeleteAll the gripes and comments about Keane at least he acted professionally. The ones left behind have no skills or training, they think they can laugh off their mistakes. News, weather and sports should be done by professionals, they are the laughing stock of Salisbury. I have turned over the last month to not watching anything WBOC airs.
ReplyDeleteCan someone do an article and a survey on the morale at spd ?
ReplyDeleteI cringe every weekend when Kylie Winkler has to do the news and weather report. I had to stop watching because her stumbling made me nervous. Although she and Chris Weimer are nice to look at they are both a mess on the air.
ReplyDeleteLow wages, low bid, that's what WBOC is getting. The guy will eventually realize that his job 'ain't JACK'.
ReplyDeleteSo where are these so called "young kids" supposed to get their foot in the door and gain the experience that you prefer to see on tv? Alex has a good track record with Delmar Weather, and I'm happy to see him taking his skills further. I personally think he was better than Dan before he even started at WBOC.
ReplyDeleteI cannot watch the Carli husband or wife team any m0re. They look grey, ashen and like two corpses. She has the style of a 30-40 year old and needs to update her look according to her age. He looks like he just woke from the coffin. SORRY but news/weathercasters must be decent to look at and listen to. These two are horrific! Dan seems like a nice person, just not accurate enough in his field.
ReplyDeleteI miss Brian in the morning but wish him much luck in his new endeavor. Dan Satterfield supposedly came from the Weather Channel. I only watch WBOC in time to catch the weather in the AM and then it's only FOXNEWS on my TV.
ReplyDeleteHey 8:36, perhaps they should fire the school teacher that taught you how to spell. "SATERFEILD" "Satterfeild"
ReplyDelete
