If Jim wants to contribute to Tulsa TV, let him. He's earned respect and will finish his on air years when he is good and ready to do so.
The comment about his heart issues was just plain low-class, issued by someone who wants to work in Oklahoma but likely never will.
As for Frank Mitchell, he is a good morning weather presence who can't provide the severe weather coverage that KTUL in the evening time slot. Travis Meyer is a marginal presence during thunderstorm and tornado season, but marginal is better than none. And now that Trav is over at KOTV, Channel 8 needs to do some soul searching about what is needed in weather coverage in Tulsa. |

I am sorry if you find my opinion about one's health and how his job affects it offensive. I guess I don't see how it is though. I was an intern back at the station in the early-mid 90s. I occasionally keep in contact with a couple of people still involved with the wx dept at KOTV. I grew up watching Travis and Jim as a kid. I have respect for both individuals. My interest in working in Tulsa or Oklahoma right now isn;t that big as I believe my family life would suffer if I worked in a market like that right now.
