Must have been the thing to do.

Eric Ghila was never a meteorologist, just a “weather forecaster.” But who needs to be a meteorologist anyway?
It's Eric Jylha. And he's a great guy.

The queen of spelling and correction goofs. Again. Now go back and edit so no one notices it.
Eric McGillicuddy still isn't a meteorologist, but he played one on TV.

Oh, and I never said he wasn't a nice person.
You just butchered the spelling of his last name...that's all. And then tried to make a (lame) joke about it. The queen of spelling and punctuation failed big time.

Eric honed his skills on the radio prior to going to T.V. Unlike many on the small screen, he was genuine. Plus, he had a beard way before they were "cool".
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I prefer to think of it as he was a trend setter.

Having a beard before it was cool means he wore it when it was not cool.
At least Eric knew how to spell. And is well respected in both radio and television. How much respect from others do you have? I'm sure you'll say that you don't care.

I recall him on WSGW for was seemed to be a few years. I was in HS at the time, though, and WSGW was not on the top of my listening priorities. But it was always on in my mom's kitchen. Drove me nuts, except for the Paul Harvey segments. They could draw in even the most angst-ridden teen, and I had to listen to find out The Rest of the Story.

She has her own wiki page (grain of salt applies here). She left WGN @ 2009/2010.

Good men, good broadcasters, but the best of all time? No.
