Weather Channel Founder To Retire–Called Global Warming A ‘Scam’ –Said Al Gore was full of it
John Coleman, a TV weatherman for more than 60 years, including the last 20 at KUSI Channel 9/51, has decided to retire.
The station planned to announce Coleman’s decision on its 6 p.m. news Thursday, at which time it would air a retrospective of his career.
