The Smell of Something Gross

You guys. Something's up over at channel 7.

Exhibit A: Universal Hub reports Todd Gross has been fired.
Exhibit B: WHDH's web site doesn't list Todd Gross on the weather team anymore. Odd since he's the chief meterologist, isn't it?
Exhibit C: Pete Bouchard is workin' the night shift tonight.

A friend who works at 7 doesn't know much about what went down, but says that she read in an industry newsletter that Todd was escorted from the building after his twenty years of service to channel 7. Channel 7 does have a history of firing less than young on-air talent, but this seems odd. I can't find much about what happened online, but it must have been something egregious to be shitcanned and tossed out onto City Hall Plaza right before the first potential snowstorm of the winter.
I'd like to be the first to nominate Pete Bouchard for chief meterologist. Because he rules, and I can actually enjoy watching him if he's on the evening news instead of the morning show. And, while he holds less esteem in my heart, I do hope that things are okay with Todd.
