FJ2000 5 Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Tomorrow will mark the 30th anniversary of the tragic death of legendary Action News anchor and weatherman Jim O'Brien. I'm interested to see if there'll be any on-air or online mention of this. I noticed recently that channel 6 has embraced its history by sharing old photographs of Jim O'Brien on Instagram for Throwback Thursday, inviting viewers to 'join us in celebrating Jim's legacy.'
Jess 1116 Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 They will mention it. Good catch. I'm going to set the Tivo for the 4-6 block and the 11. Glad to not have to be wasting it on Eyewitness Suck.
FJ2000 5 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 Better late than never. Action News announced that they will broadcast a tribute to Jim O'Brien 'next Monday'. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151803749971378&set=a.425296316377.213686.9335481377&type=1&theater As a side note, the 30th anniversary of his passing was commemorated by Action News on Facebook and by Jim Gardner on Twitter. https://twitter.com/Jim_Gardner/statuses/382976566910664706
