John Coleman was a very popular weathercaster, famous for his amusing and irreverent style.
I watched Coleman’s weather reports on Omaha’s KETV when I lived in Lincoln, Nebraska in the 1960’s.
The congenial Coleman referred to his TV audience as “dear hearts.” He made a weathercast entertaining rather than dull and full of the usual climatologist lingo.
Nebraska Furniture Mart was one of the sponsors of John Coleman’s weathercasts on KETV.
Rose Blumkin (known as Mrs. B) was sitting at a desk in the studio giving a live commercial for her Nebraska Furniture Mart stores. In the middle of reading her commercial, Coleman came in, bent down and kissed Rose on the cheek.
To her credit, Blumkin hardly batted an eyelash.
Rose Blumkin lived to be 104 years old. She passed away in 1998 after selling her Nebraska Furniture Mart stores to billionaire Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.
John Coleman later went on to become the original weathercaster on Good Morning America before founding the Weather Channel.
His current position as a weathercaster at KUSI News in San Diego is described by Coleman as his “retirement job.”
At the link below are Mr. Coleman’s views on global warming which he thinks is bad science and a hoax. He even says it is the “greatest scam in history!”
Mr. Coleman shares the views of the International Climate Science Coalition that global warming is not a global crisis.
