Weather Brains 95: “Big Name, Changed Name”
WeatherBrains Episode 95 is now online (November 19, 2007). This is THE netcast audio program for people who love everything weather. And only five more episodes until we turn 100!!
We visit with a true weather legend. The orginal weatherman for Good Morning America, and the founder of The Weather Channel. We’ll hear about his days in Chicago at WLS and how he convinced ABC to include weather on GMA, working in Chicago and New York at the same time, and his move to Atlanta to change cable TV forever. John Coleman joins us from San Diego.
What is in a name? Who is hiding a name change in their past?

Weather Brains 101 looks into the upgrade.
- This Week In Weather History: The week of November 6-12 has featured some of the biggest tornado outbreaks underscoring the secondary tornado season. This week in 2002 featured a big event with 76 tornadoes across 17 states. Hear all the details from Mr. Bill Murray in this segment.
