Scotty Lightning Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yes, but he wasn't the one who brought Bolaris to Fox 29. Schwaid and Bolaris had their share of battles at 10... I'm not talking just about Bolaris....I'm talking about Fox 29 as a whole. He knows how to run a news station(he just recently was the VP of programming at Fox Atlanta).

Rainshadow Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Isn't Steve Schwaid the news director over there? He used to be the ND and then VP of programming at NBC10 in the late 90s and early 2000s. I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardmeiser Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 This guy takes the cake Another year, another Bolaris story... http://www.philly.co...fect_storm.html HE GUY tossed restlessly in his bed, night after night, for the better part of a year. He couldn't sleep. He had nightmares whenever he did - bizarre, Kafkaesque snippets of dialogue involving the Russian mob, a pair of mysterious, dark-haired women, a goofy-looking painting and an incomprehensible credit-card bill. The shadowy characters and confusing plots from the bad dreams haunted John Bolaris in real life, too. Yeah, that John Bolaris.

NorthShoreWx Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Ok, I'm a little late to the party on this one. The guy blew a forecast in March 2001 and then got snookered by a couple of young women who slipped him a mickey in 2011. What else is on his resume that makes for all the hatred in this thread? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. 1A - He blew the forecast in 2001 by hyping it to kingdom come 1B - He comes across as a lightweight from a Met standpoint 1C - He prefers to chase skirts than be a serious weatherman (i.e. - is a playboy) 1D - Airs dirty laundry (russian chicks) to gain press Most of us would be thoroughly embarrassed to have been taken by a couple woman and would have buried it six feet deep, but John turned it into a soap opera as a "look at me" gesture. Pathetic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowanBrandon Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 He gone: The forecast looks like unemployment for John Bolaris. The Fox 29 meteorologist had been suspended since Dec. 22 but this afternoon a Fox spokeswoman confirmed that, “We mutually agreed that it was time to part ways.” She declined further comment on the parting, which sources close to Bolaris suggest was far from mutually agreeable.

I know. I read that. I went one step further when I noticed on Mike Masco's FB page that he updated his current town from West Springfield MA(he was working at WGGB) to Philadelphia. An article on mediabistro came out this afternoon(but there seems to be denial that he's freelancing at Fox29): http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/meteorologist-mike-masco-i-left-wggb-to-be-closer-to-family_b35558 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
