Tim Ross
WSMV in the am just isn't the same. Tim was perfect but can understand the grueling schedule. Too bad "parttime" is not in the vocab. Or 'fill-in" especially for the others as this state certainly has some uncertain weather. Am so happy to hear that he is not leaving the area. Will look forward at some time to seeing him again.
Without Tim Ross, c4's morning show is just like all the rest. Boring. As an older guy myself, I really appreciated his old time, folksy style. He made everyone feel like a friend. Sorry c4 management can't comprehend anything outside of the cookie-cutter mold they think is the only way things can be done. The main reason I wound up watching c4 news was because of guys like Dan Miller, Bill Hall and Tim Ross. Now the blandness of unimaginative conformity wins again.
Without Tim Ross, we do not get our morning "Smile" on. Tim you are truly missed. My family has also changed stations.
Mr. Tim I miss YOU
Mr. Tim I missed you when we moved back to Iowa last year. We came back to TN for a visit last night and turned on Ch. 4 this morning and lo and behold....NO MR. TIM !!! I am heartbroken! HISS BOO to Channel 4 !! I still have a tape of Mr. Tim talking about the picture I sent in of my iris that bloomed late in the fall.....I was so thrilled. I hope you find a new career that will be even better than the last and wish you well for the future!!!

morning show
Tim,
Your weather segments were a nice break from all of the "real news" and crime reporting in the Nashville area. What we the viewer want in morning news is seriousness. Since you were let go, we no longer watch that morning show in this household or in our office. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and would definitely get my vote for Governor.
Good luck Tim.
Chet Marlow
No more Mr. Tim?
We also have changed morning shows. The local mornings are not meant to be all serious, that is what the major cable news is for. Tim, best of luck in your future endeavors. Maybe you will end up on one of the competing news stations.

Better without Tim Ross
I wish him the best but, honestly, I always muted the TV or changed the channel when he came on. He was just a little too whacky for me, first thing in the morning. I guess I never thought he was as funny as he seemed to think he was. It is a shame that it ended the way it did but I think Channel 4 is better now.
Watched Channel 4 every morn until Mr Tim was no longer on there. Waited thought maybe he was on vacation. When figured out he was gone and no one on the news cast had mentioned him or what had happen my Husband and I switched to channel 5 morn news. Holly and Aaron are enjoyable to watch, but in my opinon it took all three to make watching worthwhile. We miss watching you tell the weather Mr Tim.Originally Posted by Channel 4 News Sucks Now!
Tim Ross
You guys are right. THe rest of the Channel 4 weather team is BORING, BORING, BORING. THey are so slow to get out the information, especially during severe storms, and their tedious, untalented presentation make it excruitiating to watch. Also, I agree with a previous poster...Aaron Solomon is the most boring person on TV...and I'm sick to death of his "cool school" banter. Tired of the fake smiles on the morning show, too. Channel 2 and 5 and Fox are much better....
You will be very much missed Tim. My family enjoyed watching you so much. When you moved from channel 17 we moved with you. I am at a loss as where to watch the weather. I no longer watch channel 4. They are aweful!!!
We hope to see you again soon!! We need you Tim!!!!

Drop in and say hello!
What a loss!
Tim made the usually boring early moring show on channel 4 a fresh breath. He added a dimension that Holly can't top. And Arron????
The other channels have benefitted from Tim's departure. I now enjoy channel 5.
Missing Mr.Tim
We all miss you "Those of us who watched you". We are sad that your are gone and they done you wrong. Their lose your gain family and health what is more important? It was and is wrong they need to apologies to their viewers and tell them the truth is that not what the news does. We thought you were the best wearherman and always will be in my familys book. Best of luck on whatever you do and I will vote for you as govener(never voted in my life). And hope you and Mrs. Kisses enjoy having your life back.We miss you very, very much!!!!
We miss Mr. Tim
We are completely disappointed in the way your station handled Mr. Tim*s departure. He is someone who brought life to your early morning broadcast which was sorely needed. Aaron and Holly are not a good fit together. Something needs to change with that situation. Now I generally watch channel 2 or 5 since your early broadcast is not longer interesting.
thanks
your conservative values will always be in vogue. please run for govenor and kick global warming bredison out of there!Wow! Where do I begin? How about at the beginning of the end! It happened a few weeks ago. I resigned from WSMV. I offered to work until they found my replacement but the station management opted to end our TV relationship that same day!
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at channel 4. Some days much more than others, of course. I can't tell you how much I love Holly, Aaron, Jennifer and Tommy (He's the guy I talked to off camera). All of them, and the crew in the background, are the best in the business! To a person they are truly wonderful human beings. Just an awesome eight years! Lifetime friendships were created. It was hard to walk away.* I liked the company. I really didn't want to have to do it!* I had no choice.
Why did I do it? Great question. Tough answer.
Reason #1— My "style" of broadcasting was being discouraged more and more. It just isn't where they want to take their morning show. And, whether I like it or not... it's totally their call to make. It's their company.
Reason #2— The work schedule was my undoing. I was out of bed at 2:00am and often still at the TV station chasing storms after 2:00pm. The morning shift often gets caught in the squeeze as storms start developing midday. And, throw in the evening severe weather seminar appearances on top of that!* As much as I enjoyed doing the seminar presentations and meeting the folks, I just couldn't keep up with the schedule. And, of course, there is the 24/7/365 on-call status for severe weather.*With storm warnings these days being thrown out like candy at a Christmas parade, we are constantly in "severe weather" mode. The stress of that alone takes soooo much out of you.
Put that all in the hopper and there wasn't much room left for life, my wife and my health. That work schedule leaves absolutely no room for error or correction. It's very unforgiving! The fatigue it produced over time was overwhelming. I just couldn't do it anymore! There was no refuge.* Eight years left me completely spent.**And my workload and job responsibilities were increasing. I just didn't have any gas left in the tank and my mental and physical health were going downhill in a hurry. Thankfully, five weeks later, I've recovered considerably and feel much better. I no longer feel like I'm upside-down.
Where am I going? Nowhere. This is home. We love this place. And I'm glad you asked. I'm open to any and all possibilities—TV Weather and/or News included. I'm unemployed... I'm open to any good opportunity! I'm pursuing my seminar/speaking and media training interests.*Need a speaker at a luncheon, banquet or organizational meeting, etc?* I'm your man!* Please pass the word!* Heck, I'm even toying with the idea of running for governor.* Whatta yuh think?
May I take a moment to thank you for your vote of confidence through the years? Thanks sooooo much for your viewing support. People in this part of the country are the best people on the planet. They "get it!" My viewers (you) have been (and are) awesome. As I said, I'm not going to ugly away somewhere! This is home. I'm here to stay... for the duration! To be continued... Mr Tim

Funny Tim
Glad to know now where Tim went.It was sure nice that Channel 4 said nothing about it to its viewers. But yet they mention this 4 for Family stuff..MMM Tim Ross was awesome, And I hope Tim ALL the Best. I will (NEVER)* have my Sony on channel 4 again. Im done!!!! Now it's channel 2 or Fox. I can't do the Lelan Statom thing (It's Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmp day!! crap is stupid. Tim will allways be a GREAT Weather man, Our Family loved him. Good Bye Channel 4.
We Miss You Tim!
My husband had been wondering where Mr. Tim had gone. Looked on WSMV.com and couldn't find anything. Noticed he wasn't listed on the weather team, and feared the worst. Glad to hear that Mr. Tim is doing just fine.
To quote Julia Robert's line from "Pretty Woman":
"Big mistake! Huge!"
Helloooooo Mr.Tim
Glad to know where Mr. Tim WENT. Me and the Misses always enjoyed the weather when you were on 4 or 17. Glad to know that you are doing well and moving on in Life. We miss you in the mornings like everyone else has. Hope to see you on the Tube again in the near future. Hope everyone enjoyed the snow day!
Good luck in all your dealings in the future, whether good or bad
Sincerely,
The Fowler Family
Bill Hall was my fav.!
Tim was a great personality and weatherman! Hated to see him leave!
Nancy is the only one I like now on ch. 4.
My mother lives in Milan and watched Tim every morn. she really misses him too!
Morning news in Nashville
What's the point before 6:00am?
As a Nashville native, I remember back when Ralph Emery would start broadcasting at 6:00am. That was just about the perfect time to start broadcasting.
Over the past several years the morning "news" time slot has advanced up to what?
4:00am?
Really? is the 4:00am demographic interested in listening to new car commercials screaming loud, or in paying attention to some poor sap in front of a camera doing his/her best to appear wide awake and delivering "hard hitting news"?
Puuuleeze....give me a break.
I can't possibly understand how these poor people put in such hours, day after day, week after week, month after month.
And for what?
Oh no...!!!!!
There's a thunderstorm moving into Brentwood.....let's bring in our whole "team of experts".....
LOL
It all seems like such nonsense.

i miss him
he is cool he is not a tool. he is thin he made me grin. he made me laugh, but not the new staff. he can do it, the same ol ----!!
love you man!
Mr. Tim
When I saw Mr. Tim on a commerical yesterday it dawned on me that I hadn't seen him in a while so I did a little checking and came upon this sight. Thank you Mr. Tim for letting us know that you are ok. Totally understand your reasonings. Been there, done that and am currently in your same situation but I know great things are ahead for you and me. May God Bless you and your family.

Missing Tim
Been missing Tim, but not Holly. I'm sure she's a very nice person, and she's definitely pretty, but I feel like her style is patronizing. I especially don't like the way she interrupts people on More at Midday. Tim, I thought you added a bit of "realness" to the morning team. You are missed. Good luck to you!
Bring back Tim
Channel 4 you people in management are FOOLS..You should lose ALL sponsership for letting Tim Ross get away...HE IS FAMILY..We love his joke,s,his tie's,etc..He is kinda like an Uncle that you trust...He and Jennifer are the only reason I watched Channel 4..Just like Nashville's so called Country Music scene the power's to be ruin great things by not knowing their a__ ___ from a hole in the ground...You guy's would be smart to bring back Uncle Tim...JT

WSMV has lost it's vibrancy. The loss of Miller, then Ross, has sucked most of the convivial, relaxed, and often jovial personality to the show. If they did not like Tim's approach they should take a look at what Al Roker is doing for the national news.
My viewing has changed to either 2 or 5, occassionally Fox. I find all three lack the personalities that give them life, with the exception of Rudy at sports on 4 and Hope on 5 there is little that gives the news any dynamics, and I'm not a real sports fan, so what does that say. I'm as often as not to watch the national news on WSM or CNN.
I certainly hope Tim gets a spot. His brand of presentation truly gives live back into whatever he does.
Missing Tim
I watched Tim before he came to Nashville, and loved him after he came to Nashville. I will really miss him on the show and look forward to watching him wherever he goes. My husband always watched channel 5 news and I watched channel 4 because of Tim and Holly. It's not the same without him and I do not care whether I watch any local news or not...
Missing you, Tim!

Mr Tim
You are sadly missed :-( NO ONE can replace you ! Time to switch channels.
Tim Ross...we miss you!
Tim,
Not the same anymore since you left the show. Actually has gotten dull. We have been viewers of the morning show for years but, with all due respect to the rest of the team, the show has lost it's edge. Best of luck to you in your new direction and look forward to seeing you around town!!
Listen to Tim on WTN news. 99.7
Listen to Tim Ross on WTN news at 99.7 FM.Thanks for asking - we have done a little research and felt no one could explain better then Mr. Tim himself.....please see a special note from him further down this thread. Mr Tim now has his own blog on Nahville.com
http://www.nashville.com/mrtim
Nashville.com wishes him the all the best! We know he will be sorely missed, yet we are excited to see he has lots in store for his future (twangtowntv.com) And hey Tim, please NEVER lose your characteristic "fun and people stuff" - or your lighthearted style which is all your own. I see no reason why anyone would try to change something which was perfect. All the best to you to Mr. Tim! ~ Joanne

Glad he's gone
Not to be mean or anything, but I couldn't stand Tim Ross on WSMV. He was super annoying and always sneaking little conservative commentary in whenever he could. It was extremely irritating. I avoided WSMV when he was on, but now I watch it all the time and it is so much more enjoyable. Now he's on 99.7 on the radio sometimes and he's as annoying as ever. All he does is downplay impending weather events. This severe weather we're supposed to have tonight - today he said it isn't going to be what it's being built up to be so don't worry about it. He said that last about the snowstorm we got that hit at rush hour a few weeks ago and that was a mess. He should just go retire for good and sit in his house watching Fox news all the time.
I am glad to know that I am not alone in my feelings for Tim Ross
I couldn't agree with you more. Glad to know others found him annoying and condescending. Bet he does sit around watching Fox (or is it SHEEP?) News all the time. Dan Thomas and Paul Heggen are *much* better broadcast meteorologists than Tim Ross.
