January 26, 2011 by · Comments Off on WTNH SCHOOL CLOSINGS 

WTNH SCHOOL CLOSINGS, (WTNH) – When the bus drivers have until Monday morning at Oxford, the temperature was in double digits, double digits below zero.

All buses have begun, but they did not do very far from the court. Monday was a snow day at Oxford, without the entire shovel, but a lot of headaches. Once implemented school buses, diesel fuel began to freeze in the reservoir, which means the closing of elementary and middle schools of the day.

“Once in place gels, they do not start at all,” a bus driver said. While the cold of winter has frozen the day for students, there are people like John Famiglietti Eastwood Towing busier than ever.

“I do a lot of towing, many jump starts, especially with diesel trucks. Yep cold. Pretty, “said Famiglietti.

A Classic coach works in Southbury, they have a stack of car batteries and truck inside.

“Selling a lot of batteries, towing a lot of cars, put the batteries in their diesel trucks to the processing in the fuel. We must have done about 26 service calls so far today, and we still a list of more to get to. “Mongelli James Classic Works said the coach.

The maintenance crew spent the day working on buses replaces filters and a thinning of fuel, so it should be all systems go in the morning.

Wtnh, TV fans are still smarting at the news that yet another weather WTNH, this time veteran meteorologist Geoff Fox, was sent packing. (Weekend guy Matt Scott was released a few weeks ago.)

While Fox has given a few more weeks to finish his longtime concert WTNH, he did this post about his departure on his blog today …

“So how was your day at work? Probably better than mine. After 26 years at 8 Elm Street, I am not invited back to the end of my current contract. I had the word 4:00 p.m. Wednesday. I m done at the end of February.

For the rest of the post go to http://www.geofffox.com/MT/archives/2011/01/06/but-i-work-for-the-viewers.php.

You do not know what happens at the station in New Haven, but learned the television industry, like many, sometimes does not make sense outside. Good luck Geoff. Of course, there is a silver lining somewhere in all this.

Geoff is the end of the first case, and after being a spectator WTNH since I moved here; I think I’ll start watching one of their competitors.
The decision to release Geoff Fox is the latest in a series of mismanagement by the new WTNH. As a professional of 40 years, I no longer feel a connection with this station. Channel 8 feels the news is consistantly about 20 years old women wearing inappropriate clothing, tight fitting to disseminate news and traffic at the expense of veteran news anchors and weather. I will be switching stations of my news and weather.

Wnep, Such were the words of “The Office” star Steve Carell as he has made official what had long been speculated: he was leaving the successful program of NBC, after this season.

The departure of Mr. Carell was one of the most talked about news stories in 2010. But this was not the only national history that people found interesting.

However, the victim was Conan O’Brien, who was stripped of his duties as host of “Tonight Show,” which the network gave Mr. Leno. Team Coco is now entertaining audiences in the late evening on TBS.

At CNN, Larry King announced he was leaving his show to the iconic late, leaving room for Piers Morgan, which begins in January. Fox News has hired a number of Republican politicians to work at the network and MSNBC Keith Olbermann suspended for making campaign contributions to three Democratic candidates in the elections of 2010.

Of course, the biggest scandal Internet was Wikileaks and imprisonment of its founder, Julian Assange on rape charges shortly after dozens of sensitive information of military government and others have been posted on the site.

The year was a setback for the athletes as a free agent LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carl Crawford and Cliff Lee, who have all signed agreements with several million dollars of new teams.

Speaking of comings and goings, it was important at the local level as long Jock Rock 107 morning John Gasper, who has left the station and his partner, Jay Daniels, after more than 25 years to join morning talk WILK -AM show.

On Independence Day, the station hired Tommy Griffiths, a disc jockey of Virginia, at the head of a team’s morning news, but by Labor Day, Mr. Griffiths has disappeared. A new morning team anchored by veterans Rock 107 The Prospector and Dave Dirienzo replaced him. Meanwhile, Daniels settled in the south of the station slot.

The station has also hired a new CEO, Sandy Gamblin, early spring, only to see him leave before the fall of autumn leaves.
