I have some bad news for you Paul......
First of all, I'm not even sure if WHTM 27 is available here, but it doesn't really matter.... Chuck Rhodes no longer does weather and is now an on-air reporter for the station, as of this year.
Hope you like Mick O'Hearn!  |

What? When I lived in Shipp back in the 80's at my grandfathers farm we had no cable so we had to use a antenna and we could only get 27(ABC),21(CBS),33(PBS) out of HBG. If it was clear enough we could get 8(NBC). Then when 43(fox) came out and you turn it just the right way.. anyhow I need my weather from Chuck and Rick Wagner to give me my news... Damn Chuck

Dude, Rick Wagner's gone too; last I heard he was fired from the station over a year ago because of some contract dispute. It was big news in the HBG area. Now he raises alpacas and models underwear:
| Quote: | (FISHTAIL, MT) - After widespread speculation among the midstate's rabid TV news fans about his next move, former WHTM-TV news anchor Rick Wagner has started an alpaca breeding ranch in Montana. Separately, he's also begun modeling underwear for regional department stores.
"Alpacas are like llamas, but a hell of a lot cuter," Wagner said, in a phone interview from his new ranch. "As for the underwear thing, I'm hoping I can quit that as soon as I start making money off of these animals. That's just temporary, for easy money."
But in the meantime, he says, he's posing at least once a week for circulars for Big Daddy's Underwear Bonanza, which has five locations throughout Montana, and Briefs and Drugs, a chain of seven pharmacies that also carry undergarments.
"Most ads have me in boxers," Wagner said, "though the contract indicated there would also be a good deal of brief and thong action."
Wagner's move to Montana was as sudden as his departure from WHTM-TV, about which both he and station executives have stayed tight-lipped.
"Let's just say working at a fitness club and calling bingo on Monday nights got old pretty fast," Wagner said.
His former TV colleagues expressed little shock at word of the underwear modeling.
"The alpacas? Yeah, that's just weird," said WHTM-TV weather anchor Chuck Rhodes. "But Rick used to walk around the newsroom in his underwear all the time just to break things up, you know, when things were a little tense." |
By the way, that article is from the blog Central PA Gazelle that is sort of like a local version of The Onion. It's funny.
Alicia Richards is still there though...  |

Oh, it's funny... check this one out:
| Quote: | (HARRISBURG) - In a move state agriculture officials said is designed to "throw a new twist" into the Pennsylvania Farm Show, the Sheep-To-Shawl Contest is being replaced this year by the Horse-To-Glue Contest.
"Much like the name would suggest, teams will be on the clock to turn a horse into a quart of glue as quickly as possible," said Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff.
Each team's first task will be to slaughter their horse on the spot. "The key will really be to get to that bone and connective tissue, which are the main components of glue, as quickly as possible," Wolff said.
While the event promises to be considerably more messy than its predecessor, Wolff said he remained convinced "that it will be even better family fun, both for participants and for spectators." He said bystanders will be provided with parkas to protect them from flying horse guts.
"Horse-To-Glue will be a chance for us to better incorporate Pennsylvanians' love for killing animals into this exhibition for all ages," Wolff said.
Previous attempts to replace Sheep-To-Shawl proved unpopular. They included the Kitten-To-Mitten and Bull-Penis-To-Keychain contests. |

That site is too much I love this one
(HARRISBURG) - The Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg today entered into an agreement that makes Cheez-It crackers the official Communion wafer of all 89 parishes within the diocese.
Kellogg Co. landed the contract, the terms of which are eternal, by edging out a competing bid from Nabisco, which had put forth its famous Ritz brand crackers for consideration.
Among the deciding factors for Bishop Kevin Rhoades was said to be the opportunity to use jalapeno-flavored Cheez-Its as a penance for confession.
Rhoades was also said to be somewhat offended at one line in Nabisco's proposal that read, "Everything tastes better sitting on the body of Christ."
The deal comes less than a year after the Diocese entered into a contract with Sutter Home that made Cabernet Sauvignon "the official sacramental wine" of the region's parishes.
