The effort to keep WTNH meteorologist Geoff Fox on the air continues. Geoff says that while the viewer response has been amazing, the occasional mean-spirited email sent to management makes him uncomfortable. From his blog:
I just spoke with Ed Stannard of the New Haven Register. He told me some things people were doing on my behalf. It made me very uncomfortable.
Over the past few weeks I have done my best to say nothing about what’s going on at work except to thank you for your encouragement and support. Hearing you tell me I’ve been part of your life has been unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. It has made all the difference in the world.
However, I now feel I have to chime in a little.
I cannot condone anything that even hints of a threat or impacts third parties. That’s especially true of things done on my behalf.
Simply put, please be nice.

there was a new fill-in last night on the 10pm and 11pm news. Steve MacLaughlin… I have seen him before on WPIX in NY..
Much better fit for the weeknight news than Steve Villaneuva
