Let me take this opportunity to mention that when Reagan joined WOC in Davenport, he was not hired for a sports announcer position. That is the position he desparately desired, but it had been filled. He was hired to do the weather. He did, of course, later get the sports announcer position. I haven't heard this mentioned anywhere. I likely wouldn't know myself, if I didn't live here (Iowa).
Are people still around who remember hearing RR do weathercasting or sportscasting?
