The Weather Channel, which reportedly is seeking to sell itself for around $5 billion, is attempting to keep secret an arbitration ruling in favor of a former anchorwoman who sued the channel and her former male co-anchor charging sexual harassment, the Smoking Gun website reported today (Wednesday). Hillary Andrews had accused the channel of firing her after the arbitrator's findings were issued on January 31. TSG said that Andrews's predecessor, had also been forced out of her job after she, too complained about the behavior of co-anchor Bob Stokes. In her lawsuit, Andrews said that she had initially been reluctant to complain about Stokes for fear of committing "career suicide," and that after she reported his behavior to the channel's officials, she was reassigned to the overnight shift.
