John Coleman was the weatherman at Chicago’s ABC affiliate Channel 7 many, many years ago. He was a showman, dressing up as a Pilgrim around Thanksgiving, once standing on his head while doing the weather. He was also well liked by the viewers.

When he put together the Weather Channel, cable was so primative that his effort was considered sheer lunacy. He might have acted stupidly on camera, but he was (is) no dummy.
