Weather Channel Co-Founder Who Slammed Climate Change Dies
Jan. 21, 2018, at 7:10 p.m.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — John Coleman, who co-founded The Weather Channel and was the original meteorologist on ABC's "Good Morning America" during a six-decade broadcasting career but who later drew people's anger for his open distrust of climate change, has died. He was 83.
Coleman died Saturday night at home in Las Vegas, said his wife, Linda Coleman, who did not give the cause of his death.
The Texas native got his first TV job while still a student at the University of Illinois. He worked at several local stations in Chicago and the Midwest before joining "GMA" when it launched in 1975, staying with the program for seven years.
He served as CEO of The Weather Channel for about a year after helping launch it in 1981.
