Sam Champion to Leave ABC News for Weather Channel

“Good Morning America” weather anchor Sam Champion is leaving ABC News to join the Weather Channel.

Weather Channel President David Clark announced Monday that Champion will anchor the network’s new flagship morning show, which is set to debut in early 2014. Champion, who will be based at the Weather Channel headquarters in Atlanta, will also assume managing editor responsibilities at the network.

His last day on “GMA” is Wednesday. He had been on that program since 2006. He joined local New York station WABC in 1988.

ABC News President Ben Sherwood said Champion’s fellow meteorologist Ginger Zee will take over his weather responsibilities at “GMA” and across the news division.

Champion has been part of the “GMA” team as it seized the ratings crown from NBC’s longtime front-running “Today” show.

Labour: the champion of what, exactly? | Simon Jenkins

Ed Miliband’s party has to chart a recovery distinct from the hesitancy of the coalition – not simply offer a pale imitation

August politics is always hell. The happy are on holiday. The miserable have free rein to whinge. Ed Miliband returns to work today amid a chorus of charges that Labour has no vision, no strategy, no policies. With the coalition emerging from recession with a predictable upturn in popularity, the old doubts about Miliband’s competence are revived.

Getting Labour into shape after the shambles of the late Blair-Brown era was always to be an awesome task, comparable to that facing the Tories in 1997. Labour’s senior figures, notably Ed Balls, have assuaged their contortions of guilt with much sound and fury, but little by way of alternative policies. Miliband and Balls have concentrated on noisy performances in parliament, with some effect, but have failed to emerge as plausible national leaders.

Their programme has been a pale imitation of the Tories. They are for cuts, but not too deep, for glamour projects, for monetary caution, for the Afghan war. A fear of seeming too leftwing has led them to fudge every opportunity the ineptitude of the coalition has offered them, on welfare capping, on immigration, on the NHS, on housing. It is hard to see the British Labour party as a leftwing party at all.

Miliband’s great task is to unburden himself of past guilt and chart a recovery distinct from the hesitancy of the coalition. The causes, good leftwing ones, are there in abundance. The case for stimulating consumption rather than banking goes begging, largely because Miliband and Balls remain in thrall to banking as the central institution of the economy. Labour should set cities free to raise local property taxes and relieve the deep cuts in local services. It should be the party of urban house-building rather than rural development. It should pick up its old causes, minimum wages, localised healthcare, town and country planning, community education, the arts in the provinces.

Miliband must put his past behind him. He needs round him fresh voices free of guilt, to champion causes and groups the coalition has sorely offended. He might even call it new Labour.
