Where’s Mr. Tim The Weatherman? [Comings & Goings]

An observant Twitter follower tipped us off to the fact that our longtime friend, Mr. Tim the weatherman, is no longer showcasing his tie collection on WSMV. Naturally, we were devastated. Mr. Tim set sail for new seas earlier this month, and has posted an explanation of his departure, in typical Tim Ross-style, here:

It happened a few weeks ago. I offered to work until they found my replacement but the station management, feeling they were unable to accommodate my schedule requests, opted to end our TV relationship that same day! That often happens in TV. No biggie… I’ve moved on and so have they. It’s all good.  They’ll get a Christmas card!

We’ll miss seeing Mr. Tim’s face on the teevee, but there are plenty of ways to get our fix of his antics and tie collection. We’ve requested a free poetry book from TimRoss.com to enjoy while we wait for his more adventures at TwangTown TV to kick off, and we hear he’s looking for speaking gigs. Alright, who’s booking Mr. Tim?!

    He was my favorite. Nancy Van Camp? Please.

  • Donna

    We really liked Tim and will miss his friendly banter in the mornings.

    Mr. Ross made my day so much better with his refreshing sense of humor. I will miss him very much. Thank you Tim.

  • Moni

    A few months ago I started watching channel 4 news at midday and really enjoyed watching Tim Ross give the weather report with his gap toothed smile. He made my day with his antics, I'm sure going to miss him.

    I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors!

    Mr. Tim and Nancy VanCamp were the reasons I watched the morning news on channel 4. Shame on the station for not being willing to work with Mr. Tim in making the transition a smooth one both for them and the audience. Mr. Tim I miss you.

    Way to go, WSMV! Are you trying to get rid of anyone with a personality? If so, you might as well bring back Alan Frio and Terri Merriman to the morning news! Tim Ross was a breath of fresh air in an increasingly stale and sterile environment. Oh well, let's see what's on channel 5…

    I wasn't a big fan of Tim, seemed like a nice enough guy but almost always waaaaay wrong on the weather forcasts. I dont need a comedian for a weatherman, just a weatherman who can be reliable in his weather predictions. I am very happy with Nancy as a replacement, very classy and professional weather person

  • customer1

    My wife asked me to find out what happened to Tim Ross. Thank you for the explanation. Apparently we were not watching when WSMV made a going away party for Mr. Tim Ross. He will be missed. This is typical of a company that places its desires over those of the customers and treats its employees privately and publicly as scrap when it no longer finds value in their services. Way to go Corporate America. Very Impressive in the Human Resources Department…… NOT!!!!!!

    If you didn't like his antics, ties, smile, laugh, & humor, you must not be a smiling happy person. Grumpy! As for calling the weather correctly, actually, everyone has been having problems. Even when traveling, no one seems to get it right! I could do it and fit right in!

    Nancy is fine, but she is a bit stiff and intimidating to some of the younger weekend anchors. She needs to lighten up.

    Lisa is down to earth and great!

    Shame on C4 for letting him go! They must be having budget cut-backs too if they wouldn't let him finish out his weeks.

    Mr. Tim, you have a huge following! We miss you!!!

  • timnoross

    Thank God he's gone…the goofiest morning show in America. Now if they would “can” Holly Thompson and her goofy style- Nashville would be a much better place.

  • carolynannbattles

    wsmv has lost a good man but all they care about is the dollar they could care less about what the little man thinks

  • Nancy

    I noticed he not has a blog on Nashville.com
    Seems like he is writing there everyday. Not the weather but his own stories and videos. He is an entertaining guy. Like Mr Rogers but more political.

  • Geneva

    I too liked Tim Ross, especially in the mornings when I don't want to get up. He really made my day. I liked his sense of humor. I hope and pray he got something even better than Channel 4.

  • Brenda

    I miss Tim Ross and his great personality.Channel 4 will not be the same without him.

  • jean gooch

    My Mother and I watched Mr. Tim. Mama loved his personality and his ties. She is no longer.I will miss him and I will always remember how much she enjoyed him. Thank you for all the years you gave us your smile . May God bless you in whatever you do.

    Tim Ross was a joy to watch in the mornings. His bright personality added a lot to the newscasts. Channel 4 made a mistake in letting him go. The new guy (Josh Devine, I think) is okay, but his personality doesn't hold a candle to Mr. Tim's. Maybe some other TV station in Nashville will snatch him up. I hope so.

  • Kathy

    Shame on WSMV for letting the bright, colorful and bubbly Tim Ross leave the weather team. As an exclusive Channel 4 news viewer, I am very disappointed and would turn WSMV news off altogether if not for Dennis Ferrier's investigative reporting. Wonder what Dan would have said about the changes?

  • Michael

    You gain one customer at a time. You lose one customer at a time. You bring in a stiff, and you'll probable be thinking “what if ………………………………………………….
    we had kept Tim Ross?” Bring back Tim Ross please. From a previously dedicated Channel 4 news watcher.

    [...] help with one thing this year. Help us vote Mr. Tim as the best local weatherperson! Why? Because we miss seeing his face and his ties on the teevee every day, and we think he needs a nice, big “Best Weatherperson” [...]

  • Allen37101

    are you sure it wasnt on account of traffic woman

  • Anthony

    The new weather man Dan is wearing a rug and his eyebrows look strange. Please bring tim back. Thank you.

  • Jim Waters

    Tim, I notice you like to wear Russ Limbaugh type ties. I also hear you in the mornings on 99.7 and you talk about your ties sometimes. I have several of his ties but do  not wear them . It would be my pleasure to give them to you if you would like to have them. They are good as new.. Gived me a call 945-0414, Jim

  • Tim

    Wow!   Was jumping around on the web this morning and happened to notice all of these “older” posts.  This is sooooo fun!  Anywhoooo… just wanted to let you know how much I have appreciated all the well-wishes.  And, by the way, I’m still alive and well and living in Nashville.    My best to all… TIM ROSS   tim@timrossmedia.com

  • Tim

    You’re on Jim.  Some of the best ties ever designed by man!   WIll call you soon.  TIM
