Sweet Cheryl

Thanks, ZJ

Cheryl delivers again. The camera angles short changed us a little but Cheryl is looking better and better.

Sexy-n-Sharp in that skirt-suit

thanks ZJ

Read where Cheryl is going to be one of the casualities of the cutback on TWC. Sure hope not, I will miss her. Said before, she fills out a tight skirt quite well.

Where did you read that at

I think it was on here where the post told about NBC cutting staff at TWC.

I can confirm she has been laid off. She is talking to a local Atlanta channel right now.

Thanks. That's some good news. It's going back a lot of years but Karen Minton went from TWC to a local Atlanta station... and she's still there.

I hope Cheryl can do the same -- especially if they have full-length shots.

Yes I still like Karen, I remember a few years back when she used to wear super short skirts.

Best local station lately seems to be CBS46 for leg views.

The news of Cheryl leaving TWC. It will be interesting to see who they choose to keep. If they keep Alexandra Steel or Jennifer Lopez over Cheryl, I will be disappointed.

I hope that she lands a good gig. CNN could be a good place for her.

Here's an article I found at Reuters about the layoffs at The Weather Channel. They're definately true. What a shame to see Cheryl go.

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Storm clouds are brewing at the Weather Channel, with an estimated 60 to 80 jobs cut in recent weeks as the Atlanta-based company is absorbed into new owner NBC Universal.

Several on-camera meteorologists were laid off, including Weather Channel veterans Dave Schwartz and Cheryl Lemke. Also let go was the staff of "Forecast Earth," the channel's weekend environmental newsmagazine hosted by former CNN and MSNBC anchor Natalie Allen. The cuts also affected employees behind the scenes.

"The economic realities of recent months have created challenges for everyone in our business," NBC Universal said in a statement. "In addition, when NBC Universal purchased the Weather Channel earlier this year, we expected that there would be cost synergies as part of a company reorganization."

NBC Universal, which partnered with private equity firms Blackstone Group and Bain Capital to purchase the network, is merging the Weather Channel operations with its own Weather Plus. Weather Plus will close down by the end of the year, but some of its staff will remain.

"While it is always difficult to lose valued employees, we are doing our best to minimize the impact and remain committed to providing the highest-quality content that our viewers have come to expect from the Weather Channel." Though it's losing "Forecast Earth," the channel will be adding other environmental programing.

The entire company is undergoing an effort to cut $500 million in costs, as mandated by NBC Universal's parent company, General Electric.

I just got HD on Wednesday and one of the first people I saw was Cheryl. She looked great in HD, which makes her leaving all the more heartbreaking.

Amen. All I keep saying to myself is...

"Are you freakin' kidding me!!?"
