CNN Exec to The Weather Channel

Nora Zimmett is leaving CNN to join The Weather Channel. Her new title is "Senior Vice President of LIVE Programming at The Weather Channel".  (Will that fit on a business card?)

At CNN, Zimmett was responsible for the weekend edition of "New Day" and "Smerconish". Both shows aren't very good, so it's interesting NBC thinks she'll be able to pull TWC out of the cellar.

Ready for the obligatory accolades? “Nora’s vast experience covering important issues makes her the ideal leader for a team with an editorial mission focused on safety and preparedness as well as science,” Weather Channel president David Clark said.

I'm not sure how "Fat Guys In The Woods" and "Momerology" are going to keep me safe?

Here's the rest of the story.
