WSB-AM's Kirk Mellish SUCKS
Brian
doubt based on Kirk Mellish's doomsday forecast, which was as wrong as
it could be. Did anyone else here notice that while Royal Marshall
and Mark Arum burned the midnight oil, Mellish was on tape. What
gives? How Mellish keeps his job is beyond me. If I were WSB-AM, I'd
form an alliance with the WSB-TV weather department and kick Mellish's
ass out the door.
Another example of how Kirk Mellish sucks: About a month ago, there
were some pretty serious tornadoes and storms moving through the
southeast, and as they moved into Georgia, WSB-TV suspended their
programming and went wall-to-wall with coverage, and they did a very
good job. David Chandley was on for a couple of hours (after working
the morning, afternoon and evening newscasts), and was relieved around
3AM by Karen Minton. Meanwhile over at WSB, Kirk Mellish was on tape
(as usual), talking of the "possibility of strong storms," while news
anchor Bob Pilante broke in with the tornado warnings other related
bulletins. The point is, WSB-AM could improve their accuracy simply
with the subtraction of Mellish and the addition of a feed from the
Channel 2 Weather Center. In fact, that is exactly what they used to
do when Russ Minshew worked at Channel 2 and concurrently did the
weather for WSB-AM (until he got in that bit of trouble in 1986).
And while I'm ranting, a tip of the hat to Glenn Burns, who, when he
misses a forecast, doesn't blow up a lot of smoke (like Mellish is now
with his "I'll never cause a panic" crap), but rather explains WHY he
missed it. A rare thing with meterologists.
Does anyone else get bored with this moron being hailed as some kind
of wonder when all I can wonder is how the hell he stays employed?
The weeks when David Chandley fills in for him are such a breath of
fresh air: No posturing, no "I told you so" or "The computer says X so
I'll say Y," and a more accurate forecast. Chandley's good.

ratings in Atlanta.....Just like his owners "Cox" they usually buy any
competition and he has no competition. You can be the best when you have no
competition. Ask him what happened when he went up against Rush. He got
blown out of the water. His only callers were blue hairs. WGST, which
is a much better station but has little or no signal in most areas and is
his only competition. I guess you can say your the best when you can
control 99% of the AM dial. If I hear him talk about women "farding" ever
again I will shoot my radio, he tells the same story every month. He has
become Ludlow Porch.

Hellish, depend on Mellish" line. It would not work as "when the weather gets
friendly, depend on Chandley"
