Weatherman Terry Swails on leave from his TV job

Full story: Bettendorf News

I'm in good health. That's not an issue. There are some (other) issues I have to deal with right now. Q: What has happened to Terry Swails, the chief meteorologist at KWQC-TV? He was gone the entire month of December, then came back for just a short while before disappearing again. via Bettendorf News

I have an insiders track to KWQC and the truth is, we will not be returning. It appears the QC weathermen are on bad behavior mode and Mr Swails is the latest victim to fall to the infidelity bug. He's gone...
Kastor's next, not to his infidelities of a year ago but to retirement.
Pretty soon, we'll all be tuning into the Weather Channel. Wow...

Actually, he was let go because of money. I am inside KWQC and it was not ala Maitland (infidelity with a coworker). He was brought in a mere hours before his contract re-upped and told he is on indefinite leave, but to clean out his desk. He was expected to take a pay cut to keep his job (like Mickle and Sharon).

Who else had to take a pay cut and do you know how much a cut they had to take?

Your are right to say that the people at the top of KWQC are out of touch. The on air people we have grown accustomed to over the years made it what is and should be continued to be rewarded. You just don't plug in anyone for these jobs and I've talked to many people who have stopped watching and have gone to 4, 8 and 18. Good people like Terry Swails won't be out of work for long.

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Cancer

Buoyed with confidence, you embrace the moment even as you throw yourself into the uncertain future. You aren't sure what's going to come next - and no one else is, either - but the influence of the Moon ensures that you're ready for just about anything. What may seem like completely spontaneous decisions are actually coming from knowledge deep within you. If you have a plan in mind to get you what you want, this is the time to implement it. Business and romantic rivals can't compete with you at the moment.
